Joel, a police officer, has been selling military uniforms to civilians.
A police corporal identified as Reuben Joel, attached to the anti-terrorism unit of the Nigeria Police Force in Aba, Abia State has been paraded by officers of the Nigeria Army for selling military uniforms.
Joel was arrested at a military checkpoint in Mubi with ten uniforms and ten pairs of military boots.
His accomplices, who were also arrested, confessed during interrogation that Joel supplied them with the military uniforms which were to be taken to Hong local government area, Adamawa state.
The military spokesman, lieutenant Victor Olukoya, expressed surprise that a serving corporal in Aba would be involved in illegal sale of military uniforms in Adamawa State.
He said the arrest has unravelled the mysteries behind attacks on police checkpoints and banks by men in military and police uniforms.
“It is obvious that these are the people attacking police checkpoints and banks with regalia of the military and police. It portends that we have desperate people willing to go to any extent to maim innocent lives,” Olukoya said.
He appealed to Nigerians to assist the military in its effort to combat criminality by submitting themselves to checks at checkpoints.

the security agency should dig deep i believe many amazing discovery will be made
Well if actually d info is true den d corporal is a bastered. He should be dealt wt according to d capacity d law allows. Bt den, there are some police kits similar to dat of d military especially d mopol kits so military shouldnt use it as an opportunity to harmer on unresolved issue wt police. I urge d police to carry out full investigation on it.
Its. Really suprising where the Corporal get d uniform from cos serving soldiers looks tartered dis days for lack of uniform. According to them, issues are not forthcoming both Officers and Soldiers buy uniform to perform their duties. The story is sad.
How can such thing be heard of a serving officer, selling of millitary uniforms to civillians? It is a pity! The federal government should review the salaries of the forces in this nation to a substantial amount in order to avoid further occurance of this dastard act by other serving hungry officers.
It’s a shocker,unprecedented act. Kudos to our uncompromising military men
new development. They should watch carefully in checkingpoint, more criminals are travelling on roads, air and sea.
