The operatives of the Rapid
Response Squad of the Lagos
State Police Command have
arrested a man for impersonating
the Nigerian Police and extorting
people in Oshodi. The suspect, Gregory Anyasodo,
47, from Owerri North, Imo State,
was arrested on Thursday after
stealing N125,000 from one of his
victims, a trader in Oshodi. The unsuspecting victim,
Emmanuella Joseph, had approach
RRS officials stationed in Oshodi
to report Anyasodo’s threat to
arrest her and the confiscation of
her hand bag containing N125,000. A search around the area led to the
arrest of Anyasodo and the
recovery of a radio that appeared a
walkie-talkie and a Police Identity
card, which portrayed him as an
Inspector with the number 14873, attached to Lagos Taskforce and
Special Anti-Robbery Squad. Confirming the crime, the suspect
acknowledged seizing the traders
bag, but did not steal her money as
alleged by the victim.
