A Magistrate Court, sitting in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, today, slammed two middle aged businessmen three and half years imprisonment for forging police document.
Magistrate T.A. Saidu handed down the judgement against the two convicts: Tunde Taiwo and Ojebode Adebayo after they both pleaded guilty to the offences.
They were convicted and sentenced accordingly for the offences of criminal conspiracy and false personation, though the 2nd convict was given option of fine.
According to the Police First Information Report, the 1st convict, being a computer operator was in the habit of forging police extract to support change of ownership for stolen items.
The State Intelligence Department (SID) through scrutiny of police documents discovered that the 1st convict with his accomplice were using their computer literacy skill to forge document in order to legitimize stole items.
Forged police extract for change of ownership and one affidavit for change of ownership purportedly issued by the Sharia Court were recovered from his possession.
