“I am not Osinbajo. I am student of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, from the department of Business Administration. I am a final year student. I should have been a graduate by now but I am having an issue, that is project inconclusive. My parents are not aware and nobody is aware that I’m doing fraud. I am into fraud because I am thinking I can get money to pay my fees and complete my degree course in Business Administration,” he said.

On his part, Ogashi, who claimed to be a fashion designer, was arrested for allegedly impersonating Mrs. Buhari on Instagram. According to him, he openned an Instagram account in May, 2019, with a message that the First Lady was empowering Nigerian youths with cash to start up their businesses and that interested persons were required to register with money.

“This is my first time of doing it. I was a fashion designer, but there was no money for me to start up my own shop that is why I engaged in this,” Ogashi said.

The DSS says both men will have their day in court soon.
