Nigerian police has arrested former Navy officer Muhammed Tunde, who specialises in recruiting armed gangs to beat up offenders for a service fee of N20,000.
Tunde was dismissed Nigerian Navy in 2000.
Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin in a post on X said Tunde made people believe he was still in active service as a military personnel.
According to Hundeyin, Tunde allegedly charged N20,000 to pose as a military officer and have his accomplices beat up people.
He said Tunde was apprehended by police while he and his associates were assaulting a hotel staff.
Hundeyin said Tunde was contracted by a customer who was asked to stop smoking in a non-smoking area of the hotel but refused and resorted to hiring a gang to assault the hotel staff.
