Army nabs man for impersonating military Officer

The Nigerian Army in Onitsha on Monday
arrested a man, Chinenye Nnagbogu, 26, for
allegedly impersonating a military police
personnel.
The Army 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha,
Lt.-Col. John Majebi, said Nnagbodu had
been presenting himself as a military police
officer for the past three months.
Majebi said the alleged impostor was finally
caught while extorting money from some
commercial motorcycle riders plying the
Onitsha-Enugu Road.
He said, "This is one of those that give the
army a bad name in Onitsha. Since he was
impersonating military policemen close to
the cantonment gate, it will be difficult to
suspect that he is not an army MP official.
"We had been on his trail for over three
months now, since we received series of
complaints from members of the public
about his activities at various strategic
locations in Onitsha.
"And we reliably gathered that he had even
gone to introduce himself to the Onitsha
Police Area Command officers as an army
officer.''
He said Nnagbogu would be handed over to
the police for investigation and prosecution.
Nnagbogu, who claimed to be a trader, said,
"I was not extorting money but I was urging
the okada riders to pay their daily dues and I
wear army uniform to get their
cooperation."
