I just heard No lo sepa used in place of no lo sé in a show. "Que demonios está sucediendo!!!!!!" answer from teammate in a the military (in the midst of a fight) "No lo sepa!!!!!!". Can it really be used like this? Gracias.

While the construction **no lo sepa could be either imperative or subjunctive, as shown below, it would seem more likely from the context that the use of the phrase by a military person would suggest that it is in the imperative /command eform specially if shouted**
Imperative command form - singular
1st person -
2nd person sabe: no sepas
3rd person sepa
Present Subjunctive - singular
sepa
sepas
sepa

I am not sure but from the context it is probably not literal but either an idiom used to express "I've no idea "Mayeb the person unders stress made a mistake with his Spanish - FELIZ77, Aug 14, 2010
or maybe the person ...etc... - FELIZ77, Aug 14, 2010

It's the command form isn't it?
