A suspect parading himself as the Delta State police commissioner and another claiming to be a deputy superintendent of police (DSP) have been arrested and now detained by detectives from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Anambra State police command.
The fake police officers,
43-year-old Ada Eze claimed to be a DSP, while Israel Chukwukeme posed as the
CP in Delta State.
Ada Eze was alleged to
have duped several victims, promising to get them an auctioned car before the
two of them were rounded up at Nnewi, Anambra State by police operatives.
The
Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr
Karma Hassan, who confirmed the arrest, told Saturday Sun that
the suspect, Ada Eze has used her fake police identity card to dupe over 30 people
at Nnewi. Some of her victims include Gabriel Azegba who paid her N265,000 for
an auctioned car and number plate; and Chukwuadu Eze who lost N35,000.
It was learnt that Ada
Eze had promised the victims that they would get the cars in October but later
told them that the Commissioner of Police in charge of the auction had travelled to
Abuja. When the suspect came under too much pressure from her victims, she
would in the presence of her victims call Israel Chukwukeme who often posed
as CP in charge of Delta police command, who in turn would assure the victims
that the auctioned cars would soon be released to them.
