The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Mobile) Court sitting at Bolade, Oshodi has sentenced a fake LASTMA officer, David Oluchkwu to 4-month jail term.
He was jailed for impersonating and extorting money from motorists, particularly commercial bus drivers in Lagos.
The convicted fake LASTMA officer was arraigned by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) on a 2-count charge of “conduct likely to cause breach of peace” and “impersonation” before the court.
The Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, in a statement said Magistrate Adesanya Ademola sentenced Oluchkwu to 4-month jail term without any option of fine after he pleaded ‘guilty’ to the 2- count charge levelled against him.
Magistrate Adesanya emphasized that the convict should serve the four months jail term without any option fine due to the gravity of the offences committed.
