Plateau State Police Command paraded a fake army officer recently as it announced its success in reducing crimes in the state including recovering various brands of cars worth over N15m that had been stolen.

The fake soldier, Chijioke Oboh, confessed that he got the uniform from a deceased army officer but said he had never used the uniform for any ulterior motive.

29 other suspects were also arrested for different crimes committed around the state. Commissioner of Police, Chris Olakpe said “weapons, such as AK 47 rifles, AK magazines, locally-made pistols, grenade, live ammunition and cartridges were also recovered from the suspects.”

On Tuesday, Olakpe told journalists on the achievements law enforcement officers had recorded over the last few months revealing that suspects were caught with the help of some members of the public who tipped the police with useful information.

The Punch reports:

He reiterated the commitment of the police to rid the state of undesirable elements, while commending residents for the peaceful atmosphere that the state had enjoyed in the last few months.

Olakpe urged the general public to continue to cooperate with law enforcement officers to keep the state safe from miscreants and those who would want to throw it into confusion.

The commissioner said, “That we have not heard of killings in the last few months is an indication that we have resolved to live in peace and I want to assure you that we will not relax until we rid the state of undesirable elements.”
