The Lagos police command says its operatives have arrested Muhammed Tunde, a dismissed naval officer, for charging N20,000 to assault residents in the state.
The police said Tunde, dismissed from the service in 2000, made people believe he was a serving military personnel.
In a statement published on X, Benjamin Hundeyin, Lagos police spokesperson, on Saturday, said the suspect was arrested while beating up a hotel staff.
Hundeyin added that the prosecution of the dismissed naval officer has commenced.
