Cops arrest security guards for impersonating soldiers


Two security guards attached to an estate in Akowonjo, Egbeda, Lagos, have been arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the state police command for allegedly impersonating men of the Nigerian Army.

It was learnt that the guards ─ Richard Adamu, 25; and Musa Mohammed 26 ─ were apprehended in the community in military camouflage.

A handcuff, two jack knives and a Nigeria Police Force crest were said to have been recovered from the two bags found with the suspects, who hail from Adamawa State.

The police team had stormed the neighbourhood on November 24 around 6am for an operation geared towards curtailing bank robbery in the state.

A police source told our correspondent that the guards were detained after they could not give satisfactory explanations to the items recovered from them.
