FOR allegedly impersonating officials of National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), a couple, Mr and Mrs Frederick and Ayobami Famiyesin, were yesterday docked at an Akure Magistrate Court.
.
The couple, according to the prosecuting Police witness, Isha Atanegbe, have defrauded the people of Okitipupa in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State of millions of naira pretending to be officials of NAFDAC.
.
Aged between 42 and 52 years, the accused persons gave out fake appointments to unsuspecting people in the council area, thereby committing offence contrary to laws of the state.
.
The charge read: "That you Famiyesin Ayobami and Famiyesin Fredrick sometimes in the month of October 2012 at Okitipupa, in the Akure Magistrate District did conspire together to commit felony to wit: obtaining money under false pretence and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 516 of the Criminal Code cap b36, vol 1 laws of Ondo state of Nigeria 2006.
Impersonation is a very bad crime for anyone to engage in in this country right about now....It is always ridiculous so they deserve punishments!
