A 70-year-old man, Adamu Sule, was
arrested by the Police in Abuja for
impersonating the Special Adviser to
the President on Defence Matters.

The FCT Police Public Relations
Officer, Manzah Anjuguri, said the
suspect was arrested on October 18
at a house in the Maitama area of
Abuja where he claimed to have met
a former governor.

In a statement released by Anjuguri
on Monday, part of it read:

“Upon his arrest, the suspect
confessed to the police that the claim
that he served in the army and that
he is the Senior Special Adviser to
the President were all falsified.

“He also confessed that he only hides
under that guise to solicit for juicy
contracts or financial favour from
his high profile victims.”

They recovered a fake identity card
with the name, Col. Adamu Sule,
Senior Special Adviser to the
President on it and five
complimentary cards from him.

Anjuguri stated that the suspect had
been transferred to the Command
Criminal Intelligence and
Investigation Department for further
investigation.

Aamule Sule claimed to be a retired
Army Colonel.
