Parading Onyemauche on Friday in Abuja, the Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman, said the suspect was driving a grey-coloured Toyota Tacoma Pick-up van with registration number LAGOS LSD 05 BM at the time of his arrest.

Usman said Onyemuche was arrested alongside S/Sgt. Jacob Phillip with service number 79NA/19278 on February 17, 2016 along Wazobia Mitir Park, Gwagwalada, Abuja, about 12:30 am, by the troops of176 Special Forces Guards Battalion.

He said: “Mr. Prince Onyemauche had earlier escaped check from Abaji Military check-point where he claimed to be a Colonel in the Nigerian Army. Following their arrest, both suspects were moved to Gwagwalada Barracks where a search was conducted on the Toyota Tacoma van in which they were travelling.”
