The suspect, Victoria David was arrested when she approached the DPO Mowe and introduced herself as a serving Police Inspector attached to a Division in Rivers State. Oyeyemi stated that "the DPO who doubted the authenticity of her claim quickly made a phone call to the Division she claimed to be serving and was told that such name does not exist there.
