Some men of the Nigerian police in Delta state have arrested a fake army major for impersonation.
Blessing Emelor
The suspect, who was identified as Blessing Emelor (male) of Isoko, was arrested on 6th April, 2019, along Warri Axis.
The Divisional Police Officer, SP Ibok Asamanyi and team attached to the Divisional Headquarters, Ekpan in Uvwie Local Government Area, Delta State effected the arrest.
Luck ran against him on the fateful day, as he gave an order to unsuspecting junior Air-Force personnel to shoot, which almost led to loss of life of a passer-by and the incident was reported to the appropriate authority, which eventually led to the arrest of the purported Major.
It was revealed, that the suspect has been making the overture for the past three years, to endear him to unsuspecting members of the public and to enjoy ‘Espirit –de-corps’ from members of the Armed Forces and the Police.
ASP Chuks Orisewezie, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of the command said the suspect, who had confessed to the crime has been handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Asaba and would be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation.
Meanwhile, members of the public are hereby advised not to go into official transaction with the suspect, whose photograph is attached to this publication, and to report any person they found impersonating either the military or the Nigeria Police.
