See the fake policeman that operated for 12 years

Firstclass newsline learnt that the police in Lagos have arrested
33-year-old Godwin Akhenamen, who allegedly claimed to be a policeman
for about 12 years.
Firstclass newsline learnt that Akhenamen was arrested on Tuesday,
June 30, by policemen attached to the X-squad Department around the
Ikeja area.
Firstclass newsline learnt that Akhenamen, who was arrested in
uniform, was apprehended while on a fake duty post in a business
district.
A police source said the suspect wore a uniform meant for spy
policemen, while the force number on his uniform was "unusual".
It was gathered that some policemen near the area confronted Akhenamen
and when he failed to produce his identity card, he was arrested.
It was learnt that the suspect, however, held on to his claim as a
policeman, adding that his uniform was abnormal as a result of a fault
by his fashion designer.
However, when he was whisked to the X-squad office, it was learnt that
Akhenamen confessed to the crime, adding that he had never used the
uniform to arrest or intimidate anyone.
Speaking with a source, the suspected fake policeman said he got the
uniform to seek favours.
He said, "My dream has always been to be a policeman, but I dropped
out of school before I could get the desired qualification to enlist
officially in the Nigeria Police Force. In 2003, I applied to join the
spy police, but I was rejected.
"When all efforts to join the police failed, I arranged with a tailor
to sow a police uniform for me to survive.
"With the uniform, I got free transport and other favours. Also, the
people in my compound respect me because they think that I am a
policeman."
When asked if he knew the IG, Solomon Arase, he replied, "Who is
Arase? I don't know him. The name sounds familiar though. I am the
only one who knows that I am a fake policeman."
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu,
said the suspect would be charged to court soon.
