The Ogun State Police Command has apprehended a 52-year-old man, Harry Collins, for impersonating a police officer while wearing a full police uniform with the rank of sergeant.

The spokesperson for the state command, CSP Omolola Odutola, in a statement on Saturday, said that the suspect was apprehended on February 20, 2025, at about 2:10 pm during a reconnaissance patrol led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations on the Long Bridge of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
