The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested a dismissed soldier, Aliyu Adamu, on charges of impersonation, cheating, misappropriation and breach of trust.
The command’s spokesman, SP Ahmed Muhammed Wakil, who disclosed this in a statement, said, “This arrest followed complaints from three individuals who reported that L/Cpl Aliyu Adamu collected a total sum of N200,000 from them, promising to secure enlistment for them in the Nigerian Army.
