Army, has arrested a woman who goes by the
name Angela Omieh, for posing as a soldier.
Among the things recovered from the woman
was sets of military uniform, police extract and a
sworn affidavit for loss of her military identity
card.
Captain Ademola Adegoke who is the Public
Relations Officer of the brigade told reporters
that Omieh was arrested following a report by
her boyfriend.
According to him, Omieh who stays in Mile 3,
Diobu, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, was caught to
be in possession of two pairs of army camouflage,
camouflage T-shirt and short, one pair of desert
boot, one jungle hat and three handsets.
He also said the suspect had been parading
herself as a soldier attached to the 149 Battalion,
but deployed to Joint Task Force, Warri, Delta
State for duty.
Ademola revealed that the suspect's boyfriend,
Mr. Collins Jegede, revealed how he met Omieh
on a social network with photos of her dressed in
military outfit.
Mr. Jegede who then wooed her and she paid
him a visit in January 2014 in full military
uniform.
Jegede also reciprocated the visit, by visiting
Omieh but was shocked to see that she was
living in a hotel at the Ijaiye area of Lagos State
instead of 149 Battalion, Ojo Military Barracks,
where she had claimed to be posted to.
Adegoke said, "Jegede reported the case to the
officer-in-charge of a military checkpoint at Owo
following his suspicion that his lover was a fake
soldier."
The suspect Omieh admitted that she was a fake
soldier, adding that it was meant to make ends
meet after her father died which led to her drop-
out from school. She also added that she bought
the military uniforms from Army depot in Zaria.
…What won't people do for money in this
country?
