He said the suspect who claimed to be a Staff Sergeant in the Nigeria Army wore an Army cap on a mufti dress, saying that after diligent investigations, it was discovered he was a fake Nigerian Army officer who had been terrorising innocent members of the public around the area.
The Chairman enjoined members of the public to stop impersonating security personnel as everybody had equal right before the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Egbeyemi, however, confirmed that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni had directed that the suspect be immediately charge to court.
The suspect, Usman Yaya (27 yrs) from Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State confessed that he stole the Nigeria Army cap from his brother in Abuja.
Yaya confessed further that since he came to Lagos in February, 2017 and had nothing to do, he decided to put on the army cap to extort money from innocent members of the public, particularly commercial buses plying Victoria Island and Lekki.
