The Imo State police command has arrested a 37- year old man, Fabian Enudi, who was caught in Ohaji Egbema Local government area, Imo state, while transporting 53 bags of Cannabis Sativa also known as Indian hemp from Kwale in Delta state.

Briefing journalists at the police headquarters in Owerri, the Imo state capital, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Mohammed Katsina said the suspect who was dressed in an army uniform was intercepted by the police special ambush team along Owerri-Port Harcourt road.

The fake soldier was arrested in a black Nissan Pathfinder jeep which carried a fake registration number LU 366 ABJ.

Mr. Katsina said after much interrogation, the police discovered that he was an impostor and neither an army officer nor officer of any of the security operatives.

The military uniform was only to deceive members of the public and security operatives.

Fabian Enudi, a native of Abbi village, Abraka Delta state had transported the 53 bags from Kwale in Delta state.

Mr. Enudi confessed to have committed the offence saying that he has been into the business for over a year, asserting that the army uniform he was caught with belong to his late father who was an army officer.
