The two suspects after being paraded on Wednesday, April 27. A self-styled
superintendent of police, George Oliseh, has been arrested with 10 bags of weed
suspected to be cannabis, The Punch reports. The arrest of the police officer
who was on uniform and had an identity card, was effected by the Ogun state
police command in Sagamu area of the state on Sunday, April 24, when the
suspect was bringing the bags of hemp from Owo, Ondo state, in his Toyota Camry
car.
The fake officer was said to have
been nabbed alongside one Isaac Ishicheli, who claimed to be his
brother-in-law. Abdulmajid Ali, the Ogun police chief, paraded the suspects on
Wednesday at the command’s headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, alongside 37
other suspected armed robbers, cultists, murderers, and a fraudster. In his
confession, Oliseh, 64, explained that poverty and frustration drove him into
the business, especially because he had 23 children and five wives to cater
for. “It was Inspector Umukoro, an Urhobo man from Delta, who introduced the
business to me, and I embraced it. I was a former corporal in the police. I
joined the force in 2002, but I was dismissed in 2009. “It was frustration and
poverty that forced me into the business, because I have to take care of 23
children and five wives, though two had left,” he explained soberly. Speaking
after the parade, the police boss noted that all the suspects would be made to
face the consequences of their actions. In a related development, research has
it that Idris Ahmed popularly known as “Idi Burgu” is the founder of Citizen
United for Peace and Stability (CUPS), a self-acclaimed socio-political group
that has been tainted with accusations of collecting kickbacks from politicians
to do their bidding. It was gathered that Ahmed, who was reported to have
collected over N10 million personally into his account at a New Generation Bank
in Nigeria from a north west governor, cannot even come to Nigeria due to
pending charges against him by Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
Reports available have it that between 2003 and 2007, Ahmed who was a staff of
the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), illegally registered an independent
land office which he used to siphon funds from unsuspecting members of the
public by issuing fake certificate of occupancy to the tune of millions of
naira.
