A 48-year-old man, Charles Chukwudi, who allegedly forged the official stamp of two different Magistrates, has been arrested by the police in Lagos State.

The image maker in charge of the state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest of the suspect in a statement signed by him on Thursday.

The police image maker said, “Detectives of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Lagos State Police Command, have arrested one Charles Chukwudi, aged 48, for forgery and impersonation.”
