Assistant Headmaster faces trial for impersonation as police officer
An Assistant Headmaster in a public school in Abeokuta, Adebisi Ayodele, 50 years, was on Tuesday arraigned at an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, on charges of impersonation as a police officer, including stealing.
The Assistant Headmaster was charged with false representation, fraud and stealing.
The Police Prosecutor, ASP Adewale Amos, told the court that Ayodele, between 2013 and August 21, 2022, falsely presented himself as an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP).
Adewale said that the defendant impersonated as a police officer attached to Mopol 16, Abeokuta, with the intention to defraud a resident, Mrs. Olufunke Gbadebo.
He said that in 2013, Ayodele stole a set of police uniform comprising of shirt, trouser, beret, and boot valued N200, 000, belonging to an officer identified as Inspector Segun.
The prosecutor argued that the offence was punishable under Sections 109, 390 (9) and 484 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
The Chief Magistrate, Emmanuel Idowu, granted Ayodele bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Idowu, thereafter, adjourned the matter to Nov. 7, for hearing.
