Odogwuemekaodogwu.blogspot.com reports that when Alexander Ilesanmi Abiodun was ushered out of his cell by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Lagos State Police Command, for journalists to interview him, shouts of, ‘sure sir! Sure!’ reverberated from other detainees.

The detainees knew that Abiodun is a suspect, since they had shared a cell with him, but they were just making mockery of his posing as an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).

Abiodun, 46, a father of five was arrested on April 17, 2014, at his personal building, located at Ijoko, Ogun State.

The suspect is being charged for robbery and impersonation of police officer. He had used his ACP uniform to amass wealth, to the extent of building a house. He was also known in his area as a policeman who assists suspects to get bail for a certain fee.

He said: “Once I wear my ACP uniform, no security agent can stop me for a search.  With the uniform, people from companies in Lagos come to me for assistance. I trained some of their security operatives as spy policemen, and they paid me for it.”

He became a guest of SARS after a robbery suspect, identified as Gabriel Asaolu fingered him as a receiver of stolen cars.

Gabriel has been discovered to be a pastor attached to a church in Ogun State. Abiodun said that it was when he went to the church to worship, that met and became friendly with Gabriel.

According to Gabriel, once he and his gang members snatched cars, Abiodun would be on hand to collect choice cars from them.

Indeed, Gabriel said that the gang had sold two stolen vehicles, a Mitsubishi Montero Jeep and a Toyota Avalon car to Abiodun.
