Confirming the arrest on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesperson for the command, stated that the fake soldiers were handed over to the police by a Nigerian Army officer. According to Hundeyin, a Major from the 81 Division, Nigerian Army Provost, stationed at Bonny Camp, Victoria Island, Lagos, brought the suspects to the Onikan Police Division following their apprehension.
He further explained that one of the suspects was found wearing camouflage trousers and black combat boots, while the other was dressed in a Nigerian Army uniform.
