The commander of the VGN in the area, John Samuel, said the suspect, identified as Peter Amos, was arrested on Friday night at the Tipper garage area in Kabusa district, where he resides and also used to carry out the nefarious act.

In a confessional statement in a video obtained by Abuja Metro, yesterday, the suspect was seen narrating how he packaged the fake cooking oil in the five-litre gallons that had been filled with water, to which he added a little quantity of cooking oil.

“I sell one gallon at the rate of N10,000 or less than that amount in some instances,” the suspect said, in a less than four-minute recorded video clip.

The vigilante commander said the arrest of the suspect came after complaints by some residents, who accused him of cheating them through a fraudulent act.

The commander said he had since been handed over to the police in the area for further investigation.

The police in the area confirmed the arrest but declined further comment.
