The Ogun State Police Command has
arrested a fake Superintendent of Police, George Oliseh, with 10 bags of
weed suspected to be cannabis. The suspect, who wore police uniform and
had an identity card which bore the rank, was reportedly arrested on
Sunday at Sagamu, Ogun State, while bringing the bags of hemp
from Owo,
Ondo State, in his Toyota Camry car with number plate, RSH 101 RE.
He was arrested alongside one Isaac Ishicheli, who claimed to be his brother-in-law.
The Ogun State Commissioner of Police,
Abdulmajid Ali, on Wednesday at the command’s headquarters at Eleweran,
Abeokuta, paraded Oliseh along with 37 suspected armed robbers,
cultists, murderers, and a fraudster. Sixty-four-year-old Oliseh said it was
poverty and frustration that forced him into the illicit business,
adding that he had to take care of 23 children and five wives.
He explained that he was a policeman,
adding that after he was dismissed from the force, he suffered partial
stroke on the left hand and leg.
He said he became a commercial driver
plying Idanre and Akure. He stated that he met a hemp dealer, named
Inspector Umukoro, now late, who introduced the illicit business to him.
“It was Inspector Umukoro, an Urhobo man
from Delta, who introduced the business to me, and I embraced it. I was
a former corporal in the police. I joined the force in 2002, but I was
dismissed in 2009.
“It was frustration and poverty that
forced me into the business, because I have to take care of 23 children
and five wives, though two had left.”
The CP said the suspects would be made to face the consequences of their actions.
