The suspect, Akhenamen told Vanguard how he had on several occasions made attempts to join the Nigeria Police without luck.
According to him: “I love the Police profession and have always wanted to be a policeman. But several attempts made to join failed. The reason was based on the ground that I did not finish my primary school education.
“In 2003, I decided to
join the SPY police training, but by the time I got to Ikeja, I was told that
registration had closed. I went back to my private security job only to be
sacked two weeks later.
“Living became
difficult and I could not go out to look for job because I had no money to
transport myself.
“So, I borrowed money
to get black material with which I made this uniform; to enjoy free
transportation to any destination of my choice.
“People also accorded
me due respect because they thought I am a policeman. I swear I do not steal
with it. Things were moving smoothly for me for 12 years until X-Squad men
accosted me and asked if I knew Arase.
“I thought the person
reported me to them and I asked them what offence the person levelled against
me, not knowing he is the IG.”
Lagos State Command spokesman, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident and said that the suspect would soon be charged to court.
