A man dressed up as a soldier and went to secure the release of a detained suspect has been arrested in Niger State.
Emmanuel Dominic, 28, was arrested when he went to Maitumbi police station in Minna to free his friend who was in custody.
During interaction with the police operatives, Dominic was discovered to be fake as he could not answer some routine questions usually posed to security personnel.
He was then arrested and interrogated whereupon he confessed that he was not a soldier but paraded himself as one in order to secure the release of his friend in police custody.
Parading him in Minna, police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun said some exhibits including a wooden gun, two axes, a jackknife, two kit bags, one army camouflage vest and a walking stick were recovered from the suspect.
