A fake army general Bolarinwa Oluwasegun, has been busted in the Lagos suburb of Alagbado, by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Nemesis caught up with the military impostor, when he made a false representation about his military status to secure a loan of N270 million from Kodef Clearing Resources.
He told Kodef that President Muhammadu Buhari, had shortlisted him and one other to be appointed as the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, and that he needed a short grant “to press and process the appointment.”
