According to Odutola, the guy was taken into custody right away after a bank employee noticed him on surveillance and alerted the branch’s assigned police officer.
Adamu did, however, identify himself as a navy officer attached to the NNS Becroft, Apapa, Lagos State, during his interrogation.
The PPRO stated that an inquiry was in progress to verify Adamu’s allegations and that he would face appropriate legal action if proven guilty.
In the Sango Ota Division, an attempted felony was committed on December 12, 2023, at approximately 1530 hours.
An attempt was made to steal a brand-new Bajaj Boxer motorcycle that was parked on the bank’s property. The CCTV cameras caught the theft, and Ibrahim Adamu was named as the culprit.
Detectives from the Sango Ota Division attended the scene and conducted an interrogation after receiving the report.
“Ibrahim Adamu professed to be a naval officer attached to the NNS Becroft in Apapa, Lagos State, during the interrogation,” Odutola stated.
