The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 52-year-old man, identified as Harry Collins, for impersonating a police officer while dressed in a full police uniform with a sergeant rank.
The spokesperson for the state command, CSP Omolola Odutola, in a statement on Saturday, said that the suspect was apprehended on February 20, 2025, at about 2:10 pm during a reconnaissance patrol led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations on the Long bridge of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The officers on duty were said to have become suspicious of his presence at Longbridge and conducted an immediate arrest.
Odutola said, “Upon interrogation at the station, Collins was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for his impersonation, raising further suspicion about his activities.
“Investigations are ongoing to determine his motives and any potential criminal involvement.
“The suspect will be charged to court upon completion of the investigation. The Ogun State Police Command warns the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious individuals posing as police officers.”
