ALLEGED IMPERSONATOR OF IG’S BROTHER ARRESTED

THE Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Lagos State Police Command, yesterday paraded a suspect who had been presenting himself as the younger brother to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed D. Abubakar, in Lagos.

The suspect, Sanni Mohammed, 36, is a business man based at Ketu, Lagos. He is known and reverred among fellow traders, especially at the Ketu market, as the IGP’s immediate younger brother. He is known as ‘Sanni Mile 12′.

Unfortunately, traders at Mile 12 know the IG’s real relation with the appellation, Sanni Mile 12, a relation of the police boss.

When the traders realised he was fake, they raised the alarm and alerted the authentic Sanni Mile 12

It was learnt that when Sanni Mile 12 confronted the suspect, he could not prove his relationship with the police IG.

Alarmed by what he saw, Sanni went to report the case at the Ketu Police Station. It was later found out that the suspect had allegedly duped many traders of whopping amounts of money under the pretext.

Policemen from Ketu arrested the alleged impersonator and he was moved to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), at the State Police Command.

Commissioner of Police (CP) Umar Manko, when briefed, ordered the officer in charge of SARS, Abba Kyari, a Superintendent of Police (SP) , to investigate the matter.

Upon interrogation, the suspect who gave his real name as Sanni Mohammed confessed further that he hailed from Kebbi State, far from the IGP’s home state.

The command’s image maker, Ngozi Braide, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) said the suspect would be charged to court today.
