The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps has arraigned one Obanla
Wasiu before a Federal High Court in Lagos over the alleged forgery of
an appointment letter into the corps.
Wasiu appeared before Justice Okon Abang without any legal
representation. He pleaded guilty to the one count bordering on felony
levelled against him.
The charge read, "That you, Obanla Wasiu, on July 15, 2014, around
6am, at Ona Egboa, Ilaro, within the jurisdiction of the Federal High
Court, Ogun State, did commit felony to wit; making a forged Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence Corps' appointment letter, knowing it to be
false and with the intention that it may be used and acted upon as
genuine in Nigeria, thereby commiting felony contrary to, and
punishable under Section 1(2)(c) of the Miscellaneous Offence Act, Cap
M17 Law of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004."
Following Wasiu's admission of the crime, his prosecutor, Mr. Uche
Okata, asked the court to fix a date investigating officer would give
evidence against him. Okata also prayed the court to remand the
defendant in custody.
Abang ordered Wasiu's remand at the Ikoyi Prison and adjourned the
case till August 25.
