48-year-old Nick Udeh was arrested by the Nigerian Immigration Service, Lagos State Command, for impersonating a journalist.  Udeh presented fake documents to get favors from the Comptroller of the command, Mr. Julius Ogbu.  Udeh, along with others, posed as employees of Newswatch Magazine.  He was caught when the comptroller referred him to command’s pubic relations officer, Muyiwa Odunubi.  After claiming a written letter of his, Udeh pleaded for mercy.  He said, “I have never been an employee of Newswatch magazine.  I know that in the media, some people blackmail. But this one is totally out of it.”
