Kaduna state Police command has arrested a fake senior Assistant Superintendent of police (ASP) Ifeanyi John, driving a Toyota Camry loaded with weeds suspected to be Indian hemp.
Parading the suspect before the newsmen in Kaduna, the Commissioner of Police, Umar Shehu said the arrest of Ifeanyi was as a result of the vigilant and intelligent quotient of his officers, who stopped to assist a ‘presumed’ officer along Zaria-Kaduna road when they saw him, but after close observation, they discovered irregularity in his dressing and manner of approach, which led to asking questions about his destination.
The CP further added that his failure to provide satisfactory answers led the patrol team to invite him to their station and after a search, five bags of weeds suspected to be Indian hemp were found in his boot.
Speaking to newsmen, the fake superintendent Ifeanyi John, who said the ban on commercial motorcycle by in Lagos by the Fashola administration forced him to return to his home state, Ondo and where he stole the uniform of his late brother, Ayodele Adegoke and started using it for his nefarious activities.
The CP however said, the suspect will soon be charged to court after investigation, saying the car and weeds are in their possession.
