A fake soldier, Muhammed Haladu, has been arrested by Nasarawa State Police Command, in the Awe Local Government Area of the state.
 
Spokesperson of the command, DSP Ramhan Nansel, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, January 11, 2024, said the suspect was arrested in full military camouflage by two soldiers and handed over to the police.
 
“On 6/1/2024 at about 17: 39 hours, one Muhammed Haladu ‘M’ of behind Ozas Hotel, Karu Abuja was arrested on full military camouflage at Awe LGA by two soldiers who came home on pass and handed him over to the Police at Awe Division,” the statement read.
 
"The suspect claimed to be a soldier attached to 231 Battalion Biu, Borno State, but investigation proved otherwise. The criminal defrauded unsuspecting members of the public under the pretext of securing employment in the Nigerian Army.
 
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect attempted to join the military but couldn't, thus, went to military barracks to purchase the uniform he's using for his nefarious activities."
