The Delta state police command has arrested a suspected fake Military Officer, one Seaman Okonkwo Ebuka Emmanuel who was dressed in military uniform to deceive the police on stop and search along Ogwashi-Uku/Ibusa expressway.

He was arrested along side two others – Ugochukwu Eludi and Chuks Ogbonna – for allegedly stealing a Honda Crosstour saloon car with Reg. No. Abuja (BWR 199 PV).

According to the PPRO of the Delta State Command, the suspects were heading from Kwale to Asaba on the 30th of January, 2018, when they were intercepted by the Dragon Patrol Team 21, led by officer Imonikhe Imo.
