The Nigerian Army, 81 Division, on Monday arrested at least six persons impersonating military officers.
This was contained in statement made by Lieutenant Ayodeji Owoyomi, who spoke on behalf of the Commander, 81 Division Provost Group, Brigadier General Mohammed Abubakar, while addressing journalists at the Division in Victoria Island, Lagos on Monday.
It was learnt that some of the suspects, who were wearing military uniforms when arrested, were allegedly escorting vehicles to evade security checks and providing security for some Very Important Persons.
Owoyomi, while parading the suspects, disclosed that their actions had caused serious damage to the reputation of the army as some of the suspects earlier arrested and handed over to the police, were seen again perpetuating the same offence.
