WITHIN NIGERIA recalls Bolanle Ninalowo had recently called out an impersonator, urging his fans to beware.
The charge against Igbinosa reads:

“That you, OMOGHAN DESTINY IGBINOSA sometime between 2021 and 2022 at Benin, Edo State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did fraudulently impersonate the Identity of NINALOWO BOLANLE, a Nollywood Actor by fraudulently sending documents to one NEWON QUANON through the internet which documents you claim emanated from the said NINALOWO BOLANLE with the intent to gain advantage for yourself and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 22

Upon arraignment, he pleaded guilty to the charge. In view of their plea, the prosecution counsel, I. M.Elodi prayed the court to convict and sentence him accordingly.

The defence counsel, A.J. Onwuanaje and Dickson Egberume pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, saying that the defendant has become remorseful for their actions.
