A civilian in Lagos has been arrested for impersonating a military officer after organising a lavish wedding, replete with a sword crossing ceremony.
The elaborate event was attended by genuine military personnel, including an Army band
However, suspicion arose when 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.
