According to reports, the suspect was apprehended while visiting his girlfriend, who is believed to be a nurse at the military hospital. His presence at the facility reportedly raised suspicion, prompting security personnel to question him.

Suspicion Raised During Hospital Visit

Eyewitnesses say the man had for years confidently worn military uniforms and conducted himself like a trained soldier, successfully convincing many people that he was a legitimate member of the armed forces.

However, during questioning at the hospital, he was asked to mention:

• His commanding officer
• His rank

Sources say he failed to provide satisfactory answers, immediately exposing him as an impostor.

Following the interrogation, security personnel arrested the suspect and handed him over for further investigations.

As of the time of reporting, authorities are yet to issue an official statement detailing the full circumstances of the case or the specific charges the suspect may face.
