A Special Offences Court, sitting in the Ikeja area of Lagos, has convicted and sentenced to seven years imprisonment a fake Army General, Bolarinwa Abiodun whose real name is Hassan Ayinde.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo convicted and sentenced the convict without any option of a fine.

He was convicted following a plea bargain at the proceedings where he admitted to using the name of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to defraud a businessman Bamidele Olusegun Safiriyu to the tune of 270 million Naira.

The EFCC on January 13, 2022, said it had arrested Hassan Ayinde, who was allegedly posing as an Army General.
