A Magistrates’ Court sitting in Osogbo, the capital of Osun state has docked
a 26-year-old corps member identified as Oluwatosin Medaiyese over alleged
impersonation in Osun state.
Medaiyese was arrested by operatives
of the Department of State Services (DSS) after he reportedly presented himself
as Hon. Justice Jimoh Aliyu to the Zonal Coordinator of the National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) Emmanuel Attah.
It was also learnt that Mediayese allegedly impersonated Hon. Justice Jimoh
Aliyu with an intent of fraudulently securing the posting of Corps members to
their desired places of primary assignment.
The charge against him read;
“That you Oluwatosin Medaiyese “M” on or before 30th January 2020 at Osogbo
did falsely represent yourself as Hon. Justice Aliyu Jimoh to Emmanuel Attah
Southwest Zonal Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) with the
intent of fraudulently securing the posting of Corps members to their desired
places of primary assignment and thereby committed an offence contrary to
Section 108 of the Criminal Code Cap 34 Vol. II Laws of Osun State 2002.
The counsel of 26-year-old corps member, Mr. Omaniyi Abifarin applied for
bail on his behalf after the corps member pleaded not guilty to the charge.
