In a press briefing in Lagos by the commander NNS Beecroft, Commodore Kolawole Oguntuga, he said the impostors sought to deceive the public into believing that there existed a false collaboration between an illegal security outfit, Gallantry Intelligence Corps of Nigeria and the Nigerian Navy.

According to him, the suspects have been handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti of the Nigeria Police for further interogation and persecution.

 

“In a significant development to prevent swindling the general public, the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) BEECROFT patrol team apprehended 3 impostors within the vicinity of Isolo, Lagos State. This operation, conducted on 1st September, 2023, was initiated in response to alarming reports of fraudulent individuals featuring the image of Chief of the Naval Staff Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla in printed posters being circulated.
