The Department of State Security (DSS), on Monday, charged a dismissed personnel, Akindele Femi Omokugbo (39), before the Kogi State Chief Magistrate court siting in Lokoja, for alleged impersonation and cheating.
According to the charge sheet, Omokugbo was arrested last Friday, at Chelstac Clinic, in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of the state, in an attempt to dupe one Ogirima Israel, a medical practitioner.
He was arraigned on a two count charge, wit impersonation and cheating by impersonation, offences punishable under sections 132 and 322 of the Penal Code.
The suspect however pleaded not guilty to both charges, and was admitted on bail by the Chief Magistrate, Dr Mohammed Tanko.
