A middle-aged man, Yinka Adesola, was on Monday charged before a Yaba Magistrate’s Court in Lagos on a two-count charge of impersonation and fraud.
Adesola, 54, was alleged to have presented himself as a professor of the University of Lagos with the intention of defrauding a student, Julliana Olukoya.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
But the prosecutor, Gbemileke Agoi, insisted that Adesola committed the offences on Aug. 17 and 18 at the university premises.
He said the accused obtained N47, 000 under the guise of being Olukoya’s lecturer, a contravention of Sections 419 and 484 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State, 2003.
The Magistrate, O.S. Aka-Bashorun granted the accused bail in the sum of N50, 000 with two sureties and adjourned the case to Sept. 17 for further hearing.
I came across a man within Magodo estate that claims to be prof. Yinka Adesola( a prof. of physics in the University of Lagos). He is from ile ife. Would appreciate if a picture of this impersonator is disclosed for more clarifications
