In another development, Kaduna State Police Command has arrested a fake police officer, Rabiu Sani, who had been impersonating a law enforcement officer for over 10 years
Sani’s arrest followed credible intelligence on his activities, and he has since been charged to court. According to ASP Mansir Hassan, the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Sani had been operating around courts, claiming to be a policeman and a fake police ID card was recovered from him.
The incident highlights the need for vigilance and accountability within the police force, ensuring that only authorized personnel are carrying out stop and search operations. As the police command intensifies efforts to identify and arrest other impostors, it’s clear that the authorities are taking a firm stance against those who would seek to exploit their position for personal gain.
