Fake policeman escorting pharmaceutical supplies nabbed in Ondo
Operatives of the Ondo State Police Command have arrested a 50-year-old man for impersonating an Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP.
Nkanu Patrick, the impersonator, was apprehended while escorting a minivan transporting medical supplies along the Benin-Ore highway in Ondo State
SP Funmilayo Odunlami, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in a statement on Thursday night said that the fake policeman, who was dressed in full police uniform, was apprehended on Wednesday.
According to Odunlami, “Nkanu Patrick ‘m’, 50 years old, was arrested by the Ondo State Police Command for impersonating an Assistant Superintendent of Police.
“On the 23rd of February, 2022, at approximately 2:00 p.m., a team of Ore Division police officers on stop and search duty along the Benin/Ore Expressway intercepted a Volkswagen minibus carrying Pharmaceutical Products en route to Benin, which was being escorted by the suspect in full police camouflage uniform.
“When queried about his identity, he could not offer a sufficient account of himself as a police officer, and the officers on duty had to delve more into his particulars.
“However, investigation revealed that the suspect, Nkanu Patrick, had never been a police officer but was acquainted with officers in his area.”
Odunlami maintained that the suspect will be charged in court after the conclusion of investigation.
