He stated that the army apprehended one of the suspects, who was dressed in camouflage trousers and black combat boots, and the other was dressed in a Nigerian Army uniform.

“On interrogation, it was discovered that both suspects were fake soldiers. They could not tell how they got the army uniforms, hence their arrest.

“The suspects will be charged to court after investigations,” Hundeyin said.
