A suspected fake officer of
the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, identified as Tijani Omeka, who poses as
Corporal Tijani, has been arrested in Abuja.
Omeka was reportedly
arrested following a tip-off from one of those he defrauded.
The suspect, who is a taxi
driver, operates within Mararaba, Area 1 axis of Abuja and extorts money from
his victims.
The Deputy Commissioner in
charge of Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department, DCP Salisu
Gyadi-Gyadi while parading the suspect said Omeka was arrested after the police
got a tip-off from some of those he had defrauded.
“Omeka was arrested after
the police got a tip-off from some of those he defrauded. We recovered from him
one black face cap with the inscription SARS and a walkie-talkie,” DCP Gyadi
added.
Upon interrogation, Omeka
said “I found the walkie-talkie from SARS premises on the floor and the cap
belongs to one of the operatives. The policemen are my friends and they usually
use my service whenever they go on operation because I’m a taxi driver.
“I travelled and the cap
was with me for about three months because I was out of Abuja. I took my car
for repairs with the intention of going to drop the cap and walkie-talkie after
they fix my car, but I was still at the mechanic when they arrested me.”
