A 35-year-old farmer, Muhammed Aliu, paraded for alleged impersonation by the Osun State Police Command on Saturday, tells BOLA BAMIGBOLA the story behind the ‘lawyer’s ID card’ found on himMy name is Muhammed Aliu. I am 35 years old; I live at Owode-Ede .I was on a trip last week Tuesday to visit my Oluwo and consult the oracle. While still in transit, my friend, who is an accountant with Winners’ Chapel called me and said some suspected thieves burgled the Winners’ Chapel in Ede.
My friend then told me he was going to the police station. As of the time he called me, I was already in Akure, Ondo State .Some people in the church told the police that the accountant has a friend that usually comes around to visit him. They said police should search my house. I returned to Osun on Wednesday and I voluntarily went to the police station. When I got there, the police asked of my job and I said I am farmer. The police operatives said that my friend had told them that I am a lawyer but I told them that I am not a lawyer. I was told to sit at a place in the station and while sitting at the place, I wanted to pick handkerchief from my pocket to wipe my face.
I am not a lawyer. The ID card was given to me by one Odeleye, he is a lawyer based in Ibadan. He gave it to me when we were both radio presenters in Ibadan. We were working as advocates for Justice Corruption and he did the ID card for me; I paid for it.
