The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Lagos, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest in a statement.<\/p>\n

Hundeyin said that one of the suspects, Oluwatosin Gabriel, 39, was arrested during enforcement of total ban on motorcycles in some parts of the state.<\/p>\n

According to him, discreet investigation by the detectives led to the arrest of the second suspect, Nurudeen Agboola, 35, who allegedly is supplier of military uniforms.<\/p>\n

He said items recovered from the fake soldier and his supplier included four pairs of military camouflage uniform, nine live cartridges, military identity cards, police accoutrements and charms.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigation is ongoing to establish the extent of their criminality. Suspects would be arraigned after the conclusion of investigation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The spokesman said that Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, commended the detectives for the good job.<\/p>\n
