11 fake Naval officers arrested in Rivers

The Air Force, according to Ibrahim, handed over the fake naval personnel to the Nigerian Navy.

He said, “On June 17, the Air Police of the 97 Special Operations Group, Nigerian Air Force Port Harcourt, arrested 11 civilians around  the Rukpokwu police checkpoint parading themselves as naval personnel.

“The Air Force police later handed over the suspects to us (Navy) to enable us  to ascertain if they were truly naval personnel, among other details.

“During investigation, the suspects claimed that they were  merchant navy personnel, and which further findings revealed the organisation was fictitious.”
