MD, Two Staff Arrested For Fake Driver’s Licence Printing 

Operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, of Lagos State Command, Ikeja, have smashed a syndicate that specialised in printing fake driver’s licence and company’s vouchers at the rate of N2,000, arresting three suspected members.

Recovered from the suspects, one of who is the Managing Director of Fago Printing Company, Waziri Akinyemi, in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos, were computers, scanners, fake unclaimed driver’s licences and fake official documents of both government and private companies.
Akinyemi said he bought the special software used to print fake documents from his former boss at N520,000, adding that for each printed fake car documents, he collected N2,000.
The 35-year-old suspect, who was arrested alongside two of his staff, who he described as his errand boys (Adewumi Muyiwa, 38, and Osoko Lamoni, 32) claimed he did not know the implication of what he was doing until he was arrested.
According to him, “I did not know it was a crime to print fake driver’s licence and other documents until I was arrested. I learned the skill from my former boss, Ismaila.

“I met him when I was learning video coverage from my elder brother. Then he (Ismaila) would send me to take the printed documents to their owners and at the end, he would give me a token.

“I was attracted by the token I got from him and concluded I could get more if I learned printing. He did not tell me then that we were into printing of fake documents. I only saw that as an end to a means. My former boss even sold the software used for printing the fake document to me for N520,000, when I graduated as an apprentice and became a master of my own.”
The suspects, according to Police sources, would be charged to court soon.
