Fake Army major arrested by Delta police

The Nigerian Police in Delta State have arrested Fabian for falsely parading himself as a Major in the Nigerian Army.

Fabian, who is 44 years old, hails from Abbi in Ndokwa-West Local Government Area of Delta State.

A social media post by the police on Friday stated that the suspect was arrested on July 31, 2020, along Sapele-Benin Road.

According to the post, a fake military van with plate number NA142-B01 conveying 420 packs of compressed weeds suspected to be Indian Hemp was also recovered from the suspect.

In his confession, Fabian was quoted as telling the police that he had been involved in the business of Indian Hemp sale since 2014.

He reportedly admitted that the van belongs to him and that he bought the Army plate number from serving personnel.

Also, he was said to have revealed that the Army uniform he wore was bought at Mammy market within the barracks.

This, it was gathered, was possible because he “grew up in the barracks and has a military background, though not a soldier”.
