A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ilorin, on Monday, ordered that an applicant, Osaghae Osaigbovo, who allegedly impersonated as a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, be remanded in a correctional facility.

The Chief Magistrate, Mr Ahmed Ibrahim, gave the order after the defendant pleaded not guilty to criminal trespass and forgery.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Nasir Yusuf told the court that the case was reported by Mr Tota George, Assistant Director of NYSC Camp, Yikpata, Kwara on Nov. 8, at the State Criminal Investigation Department, (SCID) Ilorin.
