Troops from Sector 2 of Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS) have successfully apprehended two individuals suspected of impersonating soldiers in Lafia, Nasarawa State. The arrest took place in Asakiyo during a security operation on Saturday afternoon.

The operation, which occurred around 1 PM, led to the capture of the suspects who were allegedly posing as military personnel. Security analyst Zagazola Makama shared details of the incident in a post on social media platform X, highlighting the swift action taken by the troops.

During the operation, troops recovered two cutlasses and other items from the suspects, which are now in the custody of the military for further investigation. The authorities are expected to take necessary actions against the individuals as they continue their inquiries into the matter.

This incident underscores the ongoing efforts by security forces in Nigeria to combat impersonation and ensure the safety of the public. The military has been actively engaged in operations aimed at dismantling criminal activities and maintaining peace in various regions, including Nasarawa State.

As the investigation unfolds, the military encourages the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities that could compromise security in their communities.
