The gale of arrests initiated by the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police Force recently swept a 65-year-old man off his feet for alleged impersonation and tendering  forged title documents in court to stand as surety.

The 65-year-old who identified himself as Mr Onifade A. Ajanaku claimed to be the owner of a property located at Number 2 Inaberi Street, Lagos Island before the registrar of a magistrate court in Lagos Island while standing surety to a woman who was arraigned on a multiple count charge of obtaining money under false pretense and stealing , before the magistrate court.

Explaining the circumstances that led to the grandfather’s arrest, the Unit Boss, Saba Moses said: “He presented to the court titled documents of property at Inaberi Street Lagos Island, bearing Onifade A. Ajanaku, with his photograph and the accused was released to him”.

Trouble, according to Saba, started for the 65-year-old man after the accused failed to appear in court during several sittings, an action that led to a bench warrant being issued for his arrest.

After several sittings, Saba informed:  “The court issued a bench warrant for his arrest. Upon investigation by the unit, it was discovered that the 65-year-old man was not Onifade Ajanaku but Kehinde Philips. It was also discovered that the titled documents he gave to the court on the property at 2 Inaberi street was forged”.
