A 22-year old man, Kelechi Obi Nnadosie, who has been parading himself as an Airforce officer, has been arrested.
Nnadosie was arrested at Oniru area of Victoria Island, Lagos, southwest Nigeria yesterday, by a member of the community vigilance group before he was handed over to an Airforce officer from the provost section. He claimed to be Nzekwe Jude, the tag name on the uniform when he was arrested.
Nnadosie told P.M.NEWS that he was enlisted in the Airforce in 2005 but left the force for no reason in 2008.
He added that he started wearing the uniform since the beginning of this year, but not with fraudulent intent.
According to him, “I joined the Airforce on 2005 and left voluntarily in 2008. I am now in paramilitary, Nigeria Man ‘O’ War,
“I started wearing the uniform early this year but I don’t use it to do bad things.â€
When he was asked on how he got the uniform and why he was still wearing the uniform after he had left the force, he said: “When I was handing over the properties of the force that were with me, I did not submit the uniform. It was a mistake to have done what I did.”
Kelechi was later whisked away to the NAF base Legico, Victoria Island, Lagos, for further interrogation.
