The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a man identified as Akinola Damilare, popularly known as “General Don”, for allegedly impersonating military personnel in Abeokuta.
Damilare was arrested at about 2 a.m. on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at Kajola, Elega, Abeokuta, following intelligence provided by a community leader and subsequent surveillance by operatives of the Command’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Unit.
