Policemen from Zone 2 command,
Onikan, Lagos, have arrested two
persons who allegedly posed as
daughter to former President
Olusegun Obasanjo and an
intelligence officer respectively, to
Senator Buruji Kashamu, with a
plan to poison the former
President.
The suspects identified as Peter
Uwakala and Victoria Alaegbu, it
was gathered, were arrested
following a complaint by Kashamu
at Zone 2, last month.
The suspects, it was gathered, met
with Kashamu at a hotel in Victoria
Island, Lagos, on May 8, 2015,where
they allegedly called the former
presidents unprintable names and
offered to poison him. In response
to the complaint lodged by
Kashamu, the command reportedly
swung into action and arrested the
suspects.
According to a police report
obtained by our correspondent:
“The fact of the case was that the
complainant alleged in his verbal
complaint that the duo of Peter
Uwakala and Victoria Alaegbu falsely
represented themselves as an
intelligence officer and daughter to
the former President Obasanjo
respectively to him under the
pretence that they were going to
resolve the political rift between
him and Obasanjo.
“He stressed that the duo met with
him at a hotel, where the latter who
had collected N500,000 from his
younger brother, made some
uncomplimentary and derogatory
remarks about the former president,
while the former introduced herself
as Yetunde Obsandjo to him. He
added that he had to report to the
police upon his suspicion of foul
play by the suspects. “Investigation
conducted revealed that the duo
were impersonators.
From the foregoing, it was
established that both Peter Uwakala
and Victoria Alaegbu actually
committed the offences alleged by
the complainant and have been
charged accordingly in line with the
prescription of the law.
“The suspects were arraigned before
Chief Magistrate Adeola Adedayo at
the Igbosere Magistrate Court, Lagos
on June 5, 2015 and were remanded
at Kirikiri Prisons. The matter was
adjourned to July 31, 2015.” It was
gathered that Kashamu’s gesture of
reporting the matter to the police in
spite of their political differences
made Obasanjo to say he had
forgiven Kashamu of any grudge he
had against him.
It was gathered that the
rapprochement led to Kashamu
withdrawing the N20billion libel suit
against Obasanjo.
