A 30 year-old woman, Sandra Terngu, has been arrested by the Benue State police command for allegedly impersonating wife of the State Governor, Mrs. Eunice Ortom.
Terngu was arrested in Makurdi town at a public function organized for the awareness creation on the dreaded HIV/AIDs. She reportedly pretended to be the wife of the governor and lied to have been detailed to represent her.
She was on Friday arraigned before a Makurdi magistrate court presided over by Mr. Austin Ityonyiman.
She pleaded not guilty and stated that the accusation was a mere allegation, saying she did not commit the offense.
The trial magistrate, Mr. Ityonyiman granted bail to the accused in the sum of N20, 000 with a surety who has a verifiable address. He further adjourned the case to December 22, 2015 for hearing.
