Our trap has already caught three of the impostors, namely Mr. Steven Kayode, Mr. Adebowale Tosin and Mrs. Modupeola, last week Thursday at Igando in Alimosho Local Government Area, with their Lexus Jeep vehicle (Reg No. KSF 940 EF) impounded before they were all handed them over to the Police for interrogation and prosecution”.
