According to him, wearing a soldier's uniform landed him in jail. Narrating his ordeal to the Crime Check Foundation, he indicated that he went to a funeral and on his way back home, he decided to travel in the outfit of a soldier.
In the viral video, he noted that an uncle cautioned him about the outfit; however, he ignored the caution. During his journey, he encountered a soldier who questioned why he was wearing the soldier's camo when he was not one.
Unable to provide any tangible justification, the soldier dragged him to the police station. He was arrested and fined but could not pay the fine and was locked up in jail.
