The Ogun State Police Command has arrested four suspects, 50-year-old Inidana Muhammad, 40-year-old Ali-Asan Makun Muhammad, 30-year-old Ahmed Isa, and 23-year-old Saliu Isa for impersonation, forgery, and acts likely to cause a breach of the peace around the Sabo Under-Bridge area of Sagamu.
The command’s spokesperson, CSP Omolola Odutola, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Friday.
According to Odutola, on November 20, 2025, at about 8:00 a.m., the Divisional Police Officer of Sakura Division received a distress call reporting that individuals were extorting members of the public using fake ACOMORAN revenue tickets.
“Inidana Muhammad, Ali-Asan Makun Muhammad, Ahmed Isa, and Saliu Isa were arrested in possession of forged receipts, which they used to fraudulently collect revenue from motorcycle operators and traders,” she said.
Further investigation revealed that the fake tickets were supplied by a man identified only as Yinusa, a resident of Sabo, who remains at large.
The suspects are to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and possible prosecution.
Speaking on the development, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, issued a stern warning to urchins and individuals disrupting the lawful activities of commercial motorcycle operators. He emphasized that illegal union activities would no longer be tolerated and would be met with decisive police action.
The command reiterated its commitment to combating impersonation, forgery, extortion, and all acts capable of disturbing public peace, assuring residents of a safe and law-abiding environment.
In a related incident, The Telegraph reported in February 2020 that the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit arrested two men, Monday Job and Rasak Oloyede, for impersonating security agents. Job allegedly posed as a police officer using a motorcycle to operate on restricted routes, while Oloyede impersonated an army officer and used a commercial bus to commit fraudulent acts along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
The agency’s chairman, Olayinka Egbeyemi, stated that the suspects engaged in such acts to evade arrest by security personnel on patrol.
