A 65-year-old fake army lieutenant, Jeremiah Joseph has been arrested by the Ipaja Police Division in Lagos State on Tuesday.
According to a statement by Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Jeremiah presented himself as an army lieutenant to a man identified as Ignatius.
Mr. Jeremiah had promised to arrange soldiers to help Ignatius recover a debt of N4.5m owed him by some people in Delta State.
He was paid the sum of N120,000 for his service and he thereafter absconded.
When the police got to his apartment, they found out he had a fake army identity card and uniform with him.
