An 80-year old man, Alhaji Suleimon Ayinda has been remanded at the Kirikiri Prison, Apapa Lagos for allegedly presenting a forged medical report.
Alhaji Ayinda allegedly presented a fake medical report purportedly issued by the Igando General Hospital to Mrs. M. B. Folami of the Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court to prove that he had been sick and was not able to appear in court to face criminal charges filed against him.
Although he was granted bail, he refused to show up in court for the continuation of his case.
When he later showed up, he presented a medical report showing that he had been ill.
The report was purportedly signed by Dr. Akinbiyi O. S. and dated 10 May, 2011.
On inquiry at the hospital, the management said there was no staff in their nominal roll bearing such name.
The report he presented was later discovered to be fake and the court revoked his bail and remanded him in prison.
Alhaji Ayinda was arraigned in court in 2009 for claiming to be the personal assistant to the Lagos State Chief Judge to defraud Chief Inufele Ramoni Musendiku to the tune of N1 million.
P.M.NEWS gathered that he collected the money and went away. He did not introduce Inufele to the CJ neither did he return his money.
The police arrested him and charged him for fraud and impersonation under Section 419 of the Criminal Code, 2003.
