Nigerian Army Arrests Military Impostor
The Nigerian Army has arrested Alhaji Tijjani Abdul Rauf for allegedly impersonating a retired Major General.
According to military sources, the suspect had been falsely presenting himself as a high ranking retired officer, a claim the army described as fraudulent and misleading.
Authorities said investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of his activities and whether others were involved.
The army reiterated that impersonation of military personnel is a serious offence and warned members of the public to verify claims of military status through appropriate channels.
Officials added that anyone found engaging in similar acts would face the full weight of the law.
