Ikeja, March 13, 2020 Two unemployed men, who allegedly impersonated  Nigeria Air Force personnel, were on Friday brought before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court.

The defendants are Lukman Oseni, 25, who lives at 2, Aina St., Ijegun, Lagos, and Kehinde Alabi, 23, a resident of  7, Martins St., Off Oju Elegba, Surulere,  Lagos.

They  are facing charges of conspiracy, impersonation, unlawful possession of the Nigeria Air Force uniforms and possessing fake identify cards.

The prosecutor, ASP Clifford Ogu, told the court that they committed  the offences on Dec. 21, 2019, on Jakande Estate, Isolo, Lagos.

Ogu alleged that a member of the Nigeria Air Force intercepted the first defendant on his way dressed in a Nigeria Air Force  camouflage T-shirt and head warmer.

The prosecutor said that  when questioned, he was unable to identify himself and thereafter searched.
