A woman was arrested wearing Nigerian Army uniforms with a fake identity card identifying her as an army major.
The fake army officer who was arrested along Gwagwalada falsely claimed to be a major in the Nigerian Army.
PRNigeria gathered that the fake officer who also claimed to be a serving medical doctor was alone when she was arrested.
Contrary to insinuation, the fake major Juliana Gumel was not carrying Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) nor was she with kids when she was arrested.
Army spokesperson, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman said that the arrested perpetrator is undergoing interrogation.
“She claimed to be a medical doctor and a “major” with a fake private soldier’s outdated identity card. But not with IED. I believe Guards Brigade or the Nigeria Police will issue a formal statement on it,” Colonel Usman said.
The 81 division of the Nigerian Army has said it arrested 37 suspected Boko Haram insurgents in Lagos and Ogun states within the last 15 months.
Isidore Edet, former general officer commanding (GOC) of the division, disclosed this in Lagos in November while handing over to Ebenezer Oyefolu, his successor.
