Officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit have arrested a middle aged man for allegedly impersonating  an Army Captain.
The suspect identified as Gorge Edebetas was paraded yesterday by the Chairman, Lagos State Task Force, SP Saheed Olayinka Egbeyemi at Alausa, Ikeja. 
The Taskforce chairman disclosed that during interrogation the suspect claimed to be residing at Flat 11, Block 2, Intelligent Quarters, Nigerian Army Cantonment, Ojo, Lagos.
Egbeyemi said the fake captain who did not know that agency policy does not allow release of impounded motorcycles, came for the release of a ‘BOXER’ motorcycle with chassis No. D2A18AZ3FMW34913X impounded for contravening the Lagos State Road Traffic Laws of 2012.
The suspect has a fake dependant identity card with Nigerian Army Cantonment, Ojo, Lagos
“When questioned on why he impersonated as an Army captain, he confessed that he had been doing it for over eight years out of poverty and collecting money from innocent people,” he said.
