Soldier arrested for robbery


  • A soldier recently dismissed for fleeing Maiduguri for fear of the deadly Boko Haram insurgency, and relocating to Lagos to impersonate as a Lieutenant while extorting people, is in a fresh trouble.
    28-year-old Emmanuel Anthony, after his dismissal, was arraigned before an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court in April 2018, for posing as an army lieutenant to commit crime.
    His picture was reportedly spotted online by a man who identified him as a member of the gang that snatched his Lexus SUV on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway sometime in February 2018.
    The victim reported to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Adamu Ibrahim, at the Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos, who recalled the Akwa Ibom State indigene from court.
    The Zone 2 Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Dolapo Badmos, said Anthony confessed to the crime and would also be charged with robbery.
