A 43-year-old dismissed army sergeant, Monday George, was on Wednesday brought before a Yaba Chief Magistrate’s Court in Lagos over alleged impersonation of a serving army man.

She said that the accused was dismissed from the Nigerian Army more than three years ago but he kept parading himself as an army sergeant.

According to her, George had been parading himself in full army camouflage, working as a security personnel for different individuals since 2015.

“When Makoko was celebrating its day, the defendant was dressed in an army camouflage at the venue.

“It was another army personnel at the location, Mr Lucky Macaulay, who discovered that the defendant was no longer in the army.

“A forged army identity card with No. 03NA/53/1965-81 was also recovered from him,” she said.

She submitted that the offences contravened Sections 77 and 365 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that impersonation attracts three years’ imprisonment.

Chief Magistrate Oluwatoyin Oghere granted the accused N50, 000 bail with two sureties in like sum.

Mrs Oghere ordered said that the sureties must be gainfully employed with evidence of three years’ tax payment to the Lagos State Government.

The chief magistrate directed that one of the sureties must be a blood relation of the accused.

She adjourned the case until March 6 for mention.
