A civilian in Lagos has been nabbed for impersonating a military officer after successfully organizing a lavish wedding, complete with a sword-crossing ceremony.
The elaborate event was attended by genuine military personnel, including an army band.
However, suspicions arose because an army sergeant served as the best man, prompting an investigation that exposed the fake Colonel’s true identity.
Consequently, all participants in the sword-crossing ceremony, including the groom, were taken into custody.
