Legit.ng regional reporter in Oyo, Imran Khalid, reports that the chapel's chairman, Semiu Azeez, disclosed at the union's meeting held at Tede, Atisbo local government area of the state, that there were many fake journalists at Oke-Ogun axis of the state who had no mastery of the profession and who could not be identified with a particular medium.

Azeez added that there were cases of many fake journalists whose names could not be mentioned for the sake of security, stressing that they had been practising the profession claiming to be members of Oke-Ogun, NUJ chapel.

He said the people who had been impersonating the regional professional body should desist doing so or else if they were caught they would face the full wrath of the law.

He disclosed that the notable members of the union were the ones who had recently participated at the biometric registration exercise and who had paid the checkoff dues to date.

He added that Oke-Ogun NUJ was a regional journalism body operating and tailoring its programmes and policies in line with state and national chapters respectively.

He said any illegal practice and dastardly acts capable of painting the union would be severely frowned at.

Azeez also said the union was for every pen pusher who was ready to abide its rules and regulations.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the operatives of the Lagos state police command attached to Ojo division arrested a fake lawyer who had been operating at Ojo Magistrate’s Court for three years.

It was reported that police spokesman, Chike Oti, identified the suspected fake lawyer as Uche Julian Nwajiakwu.
