Justice Nicholas Oweibo of a Federal High Court, Lagos, yesterday, remanded a driver, Jackson Ndubuisi, in the custody of Nigerian Correctional Services (NCoS), for alleged impersonation and fraud.
Ndubuisi was remanded after he pleaded not guilty to a three-count charge brought against him by the police from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (ForceCID), Alagbon-Ikoyi, Lagos.
The police prosecutor, Mr. Sunday Oladitan Ayodele, told the court that the defendant with others now at large, sometime in March 2020, falsely presented himself to Ebenezer Omowunmi and Alexander Fayankinnu, that he was a driver, capable of delivering containers to port terminal at Apapa, Lagos.
The prosecutor also told the court that the defendant fraudulently obtained 43 containers from his victims, and allegedly sold them away. Ayodele further told the court that for the defendant to succeed in carrying out the alleged illegal acts, he impersonated one Nyeche Ndidi Osogor, whose name he used in defrauding his victims.
