He said during a police search of the suspect’s house, one English pistol without magazine and ammunition, portraits of Chief Superintendent of Police, Assistant Commissioner of Police and other implicating items were discovered.

Kimo said, “Our achievements include the arrest of one Kingsley Udoyen of Number 3 Stadium Road, Abak on January 2, for impersonating a Senior Police Officer, of the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.

“A position he has used to defraud and threatened unsuspecting members of the public.

Confessing to the crime, the fake ACP Udoyen, said he was dismissed from Lagos Police Command, “Alagbon Division” in 2007 for engaging in the illegal act.

“I started when I lost my job, I was with the police in Alagbon as a Superintendent of Police. I was dismissed in 2007 because of the illegal job I went for.

“I left Lagos in 2008 and went to Calabar, where I met Glory Etim, my girlfriend.
