The suspect was arrested following a painstaking investigation that was launched after one of his victims reported the theft of her Lexus RX330 SUV.

The Nigeria Police Force says it has arrested a 39-year-old fake Army Captain, Andy Edwards, in Lagos for alleged armed robbery.

The Lagos command’s spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday, said the suspect always posed as a modelling agent, invited ladies for auditioning and then stole their cars and valuables at gunpoint.

Hundeyin said the suspect was arrested following a painstaking investigation that was launched after one of his victims reported the theft of her Lexus RX330 SUV.

The statement partly read, “Investigation led to the recovery of one Ford Edge SUV with registration number KRD 276 EG, one sewing machine and one POS machine with six SIM cards from the suspect’s house.

“Also recovered from him were two pairs of military camouflage uniforms and one number plate – AFL 469 GD.

“While investigation is being rounded off, the owner of the Ford SUV is hereby urged to come forward to claim same. Suspect would be arraigned at the conclusion of investigation,’’ Hundeyin stated.

The PPRO however, assured residents of Lagos State of the unwavering commitment of officers and men of the command to end crime and criminality in the state.
