In a recent development, the Lagos State Police Command apprehended two men who were posing as police officers. These men, dressed in full police uniforms with inspector ranks, were caught by the authorities and are suspected of engaging in criminal activities.

The arrest was documented in a video that quickly spread online. In the footage, real police officers are seen confronting the imposters, who appear shocked and unable to explain their actions. One of the female officers behind the camera expressed her disbelief, remarking, “With police uniform, o. With police uniform, wearing inspector rank.” Her words underline how convincingly these men had disguised themselves as legitimate officers.

Further inspection by the police revealed that the fake officers were carrying firearms. A male officer in the video mentioned that the gun had been fired recently, suggesting that the imposters might have been using it for illegal purposes, possibly to rob or extort unsuspecting citizens.

Although the exact motives of these imposters are still under investigation, their arrest highlights a concerning issue in Lagos—criminals impersonating law enforcement officers. The Lagos State Police are continuing their efforts to uncover the full scope of this incident and ensure the safety of the public.

This case serves as a reminder for everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The arrest of these fake officers is a significant step in curbing such criminal behavior in the community.
