About two years after the Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Idiat
Adebule, suspended her social media accounts, a 45-year-old man, Adamu
Aminu, who allegedly impersonated her on Facebook, was on Friday
arraigned in Ebute Metta Chief Magistrates’ Court.
He is facing a four-count of impersonation, conspiracy, false pretence and fraud.
Aminu allegedly created a Facebook account using the details of the deputy governor to defraud people.
The prosecutor, Mr. Rafiu Aroyewun, Assistant Director, Directorate
of Public Prosecutions, State Ministry of Justice, told the court that
the accused committed the offences in Agege area of Lagos sometime in
August.
Aroyewun said the accused used the account to extort money from
unsuspecting members of the public before he was tracked down online by
the Police.
“The accused fraudulently obtained the sum of N1m from one Mr.
Bright Obed on the pretext of soliciting funds for an orphanage in Agege
allegedly set up by the deputy governor.
“He also impersonated the deputy governor by calling and sending SMS on a mobile number 09064583091 to the public.
“Investigation is ongoing and we are on the trail of others who are still at large,” Aroyewun told the court.
The offences, according to the prosecutor, contravened sections 314
(1), (a), 380 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.
Aminu pleaded ‘not guilty’ to the charges.
Counsel to the accused, Ms Uzoamaka Nwafor, urged the magistrate to grant him bail on liberal terms.
In her ruling, Chief Magistrate Oluyemisi Adelaja admitted the accused to a bail of N300,000 with two sureties in like sum.
She said the sureties must produce evidence of three years’ tax
payment to the Lagos State Government and adjourned the case until
October 16 for hearing.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that on August 5, 2015, the
Deputy Governor had disowned a Facebook account created in her name by
an impostor trying to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
Adebule, in a statement, alerted the general public that some
unscrupulous elements had been using her name, most notably on Facebook,
to dupe innocent people.
