35-year-old dismissed army officer, Awolu Ado, has been arrested for burglary, stealing and impersonation.

Ado who has now been sentenced to two and half years imprisonment, was caught at 5, Erinkitola Street, Idi-Oro, Mushin, Lagos where he wore an Army uniform, armed with weapons, and broke into a fashion designing shop owned by one Mrs Korede Leshia and carted away fabrics worth N10,000 belonging to her customer, Pastor Fred Kowor of Tabernacle of Faith and Power Ministry.

Awolu, from Plateau State, said he learnt the criminal act of burglary after he enlisted into the Nigerian Army in 2006.

He also confessed that he is a dismissed soldier and he wears military uniform to commit crime so as to feed his family.
