Opeyemi Ajala, 34, a fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member has been arrested by the police at Dolphin Division, Ikoyi, Lagos and charged to court.

The suspect allegedly told the police that he was contacted by one Olotu Osayowanon, who is now at large, to assist him in serving the one year compulsory scheme with an agreement that he would be paying him N19,000 monthly.

Ajala had gone to the Ikoyi/Obalende LCDA to register for the one year NYSC compulsory scheme as a graduate when his antics were discovered.

The fake documents found on him, according to the police include forged death certificate of one Osarogie Olotu, Acceptance Letter from Eti Osa LCDA, BA Certificate from the University of New Castle, United Kingdom and NYSC call up letter.

During preliminary questioning by the NYSC officials about how he came about the documents bearing different names and not his name, he allegedly said someone contracted him to serve for him.
The NYSC officials reported him to the DPO of Dolphin Estate Division, Ikoyi S.P Musa Abdullahi who directed his men to arrest the suspect and take him to the station.

In his confessional statement to the police, Opeyemi allegedly said: “I am a jobless man and my father and mother died a few years ago, and since I passed out from the school of Fishery and Marine Technology in 2009, I have not been able to get a job.

“One day, I went to the NYSC camp at Ipaja, Lagos, where I met Olotu Osayowanon who approached me to help him serve his one year compulsory NYSC scheme because he graduated in London.

“He provided me with all the NYSC uniform and kits and he agreed to be paying me N19,000 every month and out of frustration I accepted the offer before I was arrested. I promise not to indulge in such crime again.”

After investigation by Corporal Miracle Ikyav, Ajala was charged before an Igbosere Magistrate’s court on three count charge of felony, to wit, impersonating and forgery.

The offences, the prosecutor Supol E. Ekuma said contravened Sections 409,380 and 374 of the criminal laws of Lagos State 2011.

She adjourned the matter till 30 July, 2013 for mention.

The defendant was taken to Ikoyi Prison pending when he would fulfil the bail conditions.
