Troops of Operation SAFE HAVEN (OPSH) have apprehended a man identified as Mr. Musa Ali for impersonating a serving personnel of the security outfit with the intent to defraud the public.
According to a statement issued by Major Samson Nantip Zhakom, Media Information Officer of OPSH, the suspect posed as a member of the task force and deceitfully collected the sum of ₦400,000 from the family of a notorious gunrunner currently under investigation by the task force.
Mr. Ali allegedly promised the family he could halt the investigation and secure the suspect's release, a claim which was later discovered to be fraudulent by OPSH operatives, leading to his immediate arrest.
