The fake officer was said to have been nabbed alongside one Isaac Ishicheli, who claimed to be his brother-in-law.
Abdulmajid Ali, the Ogun police chief, paraded the suspects on Wednesday at the command’s headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, alongside 37 other suspected armed robbers, cultists, murderers, and a fraudster.
In his confession, Oliseh, 64, explained that poverty and frustration drove him into the business, especially because he had 23 children and five wives to cater for.
“It was Inspector Umukoro, an Urhobo man from Delta, who introduced the business to me, and I embraced it. I was a former corporal in the police. I joined the force in 2002, but I was dismissed in 2009.
“It was frustration and poverty that forced me into the business, because I have to take care of 23 children and five wives, though two had left,” he explained soberly.
Speaking after the parade, the police boss noted that all the suspects would be made to face the consequences of their actions.
In a related development, research has it that Idris Ahmed popularly known as “Idi Burgu” is the founder of Citizen United for Peace and Stability (CUPS), a self-acclaimed socio-political group that has been tainted with accusations of collecting kickbacks from politicians to do their bidding.
It was gathered that Ahmed, who was reported to have collected over N10 million personally into his account at a New Generation Bank in Nigeria from a north west governor, cannot even come to Nigeria due to pending charges against him by Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
Reports available have it that between 2003 and 2007, Ahmed who was a staff of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), illegally registered an independent land office which he used to siphon funds from unsuspecting members of the public by issuing fake certificate of occupancy to the tune of millions of naira.
