A National Diploma holder of a polytechnic in Delta State, Anene Odikose, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for impersonation.
During a routine stop-and-search at a checkpoint on Matogun Road, Oke-Aro, in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun state, a 31-year-old man identified as Anene Odikose, was arrested by the State Police Command for impersonation.
According to reporters, the operatives attached to the Anti-Robbery Squad of the Agbado division during the arrest on Monday, recovered a police uniform, an identity card bearing his name and a Honda car from him.
It was gathered that the suspect who hails from Aniocha North in Delta State, had reportedly hid under the Police Force to defraud and harass unsuspecting members of the public before luck ran out on him.
Speaking to a correspondent, Odikose who is a National Diploma holder of a Polytechnic in Delta State, said he was dismissed in 2011 while undergoing training at the police college in Rivers State.
He said the shame of returning home made him to approach a police friend, who assisted him in obtaining the uniform and the ID card after he paid N500.

“I am an ND holder in Business Administration. I was enlisted in the police in October 2011. During the 15-month training at the police college in Rivers State, some officers came from Abuja to screen us. Unfortunately, I was dismissed on the grounds of physical fitness.
“When I left the college, I was shy to go back to the village and tell my people that I had been disqualified. I went to live with a brother in Asaba (Delta State).
“When my friends completed the training, I met with one of them, Henry, who was posted to Calabar, Cross River State. He collected N500 from me and helped me process a police ID card. He also gave me a police uniform,”

He denied using the ID card and the uniform to commit crime, saying he only tendered the ID card at checkpoints to evade police interrogation whenever he drove out his car, whose documents were incomplete.

“I came to Lagos in 2014. I was working as a security guard and a driver around Isolo (Lagos State). I got the ID card to avoid being intimidated on the road when I am driving. I have never used it to commit crime. I am a focused person. It was very unfortunate that I find myself in this kind of situation.
“I had never shown the ID card to policemen until that day. All I want is mercy. I have two children and a wife to fend for,”
