The Lagos State Police Command has said that it has bursted an illegal military camp with the code name Nigeria Marchant Navy at Ogudu area of the State.
The Police said that 107 suspects including one of their commanders were arrested, while several military accouterments which included camouflages, barges of ranks, signboards, and identity cards were recovered from the camp.
Other items recovered included recruitments letters, promotion letters and a portrait of the commanding officer, two motorcycles, a plasma Television, three cutlasses, Charms, and other items.
The State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hakeem Odumosu, who paraded the suspects at the Command Headquarters, Ikeja, yesterday, said that the Nigeria Marchant Navy had since been outlawed by the Federal Government, hence it was illegal for anyone to operate such a military outfit, giving military training to unsuspecting young Nigerians was not a good thing for the country.
