Men of the Nigerian police have arrested one suspected cultist, Koffi Ayamafuga for masquerading as a member of African liberation movement, NBM of Africa in Lagos.
Arrested at a bar in Abraham Adesanya Estate, Lekki-Ajah with the aid of the President of the Lekki chapter of NBM of Africa, Mr. Chukwuma Madike, the suspect was said to have dressed in regalia to celebrate a purported 7/7 day by NBM of Africa.
ABN TV recalls that the group had earlier dissociated itself from any July 7 celebration, insisting that such celebration is strange to the group.
The group described any 7/7 celebration associated to it as a deliberate attempt to tarnish its image.
It also notified security agencies to arrest and deal decisively with anyone caught masquerading as a member of NBM Africa in the name of 7/7 celebration.
The suspect, Ayamafuga during interrogation confessed to being a member of the Eiye Confraternity.
Narrating what led to the arrest of the suspect during a press briefing, Madike said he went to dine at the bar with some friends when Ayamafuga walked in dressed in military camouflage trousers and wearing yellow stockings.
“We greeted and walked towards a table. But while going towards the table I sighted a black beret at the back pocket of Koffi Ayamafuga. I walked up to him and started interrogating him and that was how we got to know he is an impostor. He was handed over to Ogombo Police Division”, he said.
He added, “Many more impersonators are on Facebook and other social media acting as such, displaying all sorts of illegal weapons. A lot of such suspects are in police custody at the Ajah Police Station”.
A police source told ABN TV that the suspect will be charged to court after investigation.
