TROOPS ARREST FAKE POLICE ASP

Troops of the 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army, and personnel of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intercepted and apprehended two fake policemen at Takum Junction in Wukari Local Government Area.

The suspects were identified as Monday George, a 71-year-old dismissed Police ASP, and Ezeugo Destiny Uche, 41 years old.

However, the other occupants of the second Hilux abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene on sighting the troops.

The suspects were dressed in mobile police uniforms, were with the two Toyota Hilux vehicles loaded with substances suspected to be cannabis.

Disclosing this in Jalingo, Taraba State on Tuesday, the Acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, 6 Brigade Nigerian Army, Lieutenant Umar Muhammad, said the arrest was in continuation of the ongoing operations across Taraba State code-named OPERATION LAFIYA NAKOWA.

The operation is aimed at flushing out bandits and other criminal elements under the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army/ Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), in conjunction with operatives of NDLEA.

It was learnt that the troops acted on credible intelligence, as preliminary investigation revealed that none of the occupants are serving policemen.

The cannabis-laden vehicles were traced to have been loaded from Akure, Ondo State, and were heading towards Adamawa State before interception.

A total of 1,134 blocks of cannabis were recovered from the two vehicles. Both the suspects and the recovered exhibits have been handed over to the NDLEA office in Wukari for further investigation and prosecution.

The Commander 6 Brigade Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, commended the troops and NDLEA operatives for their synergy and resilience, while reaffirming the Brigade’s commitment to ensuring that Taraba State remains unsafe for criminals and drug traffickers.

He called on the members of the public to provide timely and credible information to security agencies to enhance ongoing operations across the state.
