Serious. 'Lieutenant Colonel Rufai Abubakar', why will you venture into a lions den i.e. Burma camp when you know you are fake. This should have been a no go area for you even under the influence of alcohol. I can't imagine the number of salutes you would have received. So among all the ranks in the military, you don't see any rank to go for, it's lieutenant colonel rank you want? Soldiers in that rank have a certain way they walk so when the junior officer saw you walking like a sergeant, he immediately knew you were not a real lieutenant colonel but a fake. In Ghanaian parlance this is what they call " the man bring himself ". Rufai, this time round your compass have misdirected you.
