A 66-year old man, Akinteye Olushola, has landed in trouble in Lagos State for allegedly forging house documents belonging to a dead woman, late Florence Olajumoke Ayo and claiming that she sold the house to him before she died.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Federal Housing Estate, Ipaja area of Lagos, where the woman had a bungalow before she passed on.
He was said to have taken possession by fencing the house before the family of the deceased accosted him and he claimed that she sold the house to him before she died.
To prove that he actually bought the property from her, he forged payment receipts of the house which he claimed that the deceased issued to him which transferred the ownership of the property to him.
However, trouble started after the matter was reported to the Police intelligence team of the Lagos State Command. The operatives moved into action, investigated the payment receipts and discovered that they were forged.
The Police found him culpable and charged him before the Ogba Magistrate Court for conduct likely to cause breach of public peace, forgery and conversion under the Criminal Laws of the State.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. L.A. Owolabi, granted him bail with two sureties, who must show evidence of means of livelihood and tax payment while addresses will be verified by the Court.
The matter was adjourned for mention while the defendant was remanded in custody at the correctional center at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when he will perfect his bail conditions.
