He then noted that the suspect has been handed over to the State Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation.
The statement read in part: “The Ebonyi State Police Command on Saturday 3/7/2022 at about 10:46hrs through a coordinated effort with Anyigor Lazarus, the Commander of Ebubeagu Security outfit in Ezza South LGA apprehended Enyi Friday who hails from Umunwagu Idembia in Ezza South LGA of Ebonyi State for impersonation.
“The young man who is not a police officer was caught wearing the uniform of a Police Corporal hence his arrest. The suspect has been handed over to the State Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation.”
