A FAKE soldier, Miss Angela Omieh, who was arrested on April 17, this year by men of the 32 Artillery Brigade, Akure, was re-arrested on Wednesday at Igbara-Oke military check-point in Ifedore Local Government Area, Ondo State.
After her latest arrest in the same army uniform, she gave her name as Miss Jamila Suleiman of Mile 3, Dioba, Port Harcourt, River State, contrary to her former name
.
The State Police Commissioner, Isaac Eke, who paraded the suspect after briefing reporters in his office, said the fake soldier was earlier in the year arrested by military men and handed over to the police.
He said she was then charged to court but was granted bail.
He added that the suspect was re-arrested again at Igbara-Oke military check-point while impersonating herself as a soldier.
The suspect said she committed the offence in order to survive after the death of her father.
She confessed that she bought the uniform from a shop in Delta State and pleaded for leniency, promising not to involve in such act again.
At the press briefing Suleiman also informed journalists, “I [had] to go back to [this] again because that is where I see the money to taking care of my family. I travelled around with the uniform to get favor and goods in the country.”
