Godwin Akhenamen has fooled his friends, family, community and even himself for 12 years as he operated as a police officer.
But
his luck finally came to a halt when he was arrested by the Lagos State
Police Command X-Squad in Ikeja, on Monday, June 6, 2015.
Seeing
his bearded face and unkempt uniform, the operatives asked him who he
was and he promptly identified himself as a police officer complete with
an identity card.
Not satisfied, an operative
asked him who Solomon Arase, the Inspector General of Police, is, but to
their surprise, Akhenamen replied that he does know anyone with that
name and neither does he have a problem with the person.
He
was promptly bundled into the Squad's vehicle and driven to the state
command office where, upon interrogation, Akhenamen confessed that he
has been a fake police officer for the past 12 years.
He even told his interrogators that he did what he due to his love for the force and has been surviving as an officer of the law all those years.
He
further confessed that he had tried to join the force about 15 years
ago but was not successful since he had no primary education but that
disappointment did not stop him as he borrowed money and sowed a uniform
and boom, he had realised his 'dream'.
The state police has said he will soon be charged to court after investigations.
