THE end of the road came for Adewole Femi, a
civilian who has been parading himself as a senior
police officer when he was arrested by men of the
Lagos State Police Command.
‘Officer Femi’ as he was fondly called by
unsuspecting Nigerians, who hails from Ilolufu
Village in Ondo State, had been parading himself
as a Deputy Superintendent of Police until officers
at the Igando Police Station eventually arrested
him.
He was arrested for impersonating a Deputy
Superintendent of Police (DSP) and defrauding
people in Lagos metropolis of their cash and other
valuables.
His arrest followed his encounter with one of his
many victims who was promised admission into
Customs Training College, Ikeja.
The victim was made to part with N30,000 as an
admission fee.
When the admission was not forthcoming, his
victim contacted the Igando Police Station where
it was revealed that he had been defrauded by a
fake DSP.
Femi was later arrested and during interrogation,
confessed that he was the leader of a five-man
criminal gang operating in Igando.
He later said he bought his police uniform, rank,
shoes, cap and other paraphernalia at N7,000,
and had been defrauding people in the past five
months.
He said one Sergeant Okiki sold the police uniform
to him with the assistance of one Juliet Abdullahi.
Parading the suspect on behalf of the
Commissioner of Police (CP), Alhaji Abubakar
Umar Manko, the command’s image maker, Ngozi
Braide, a Deputy Superintendent said the other
suspects still at large would soon be arrested.
