Court Orders Remand of Suspected Quack Public Relations Practitioner

A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Apo, on Thursday, ordered the remand of one Negedu Patrick Siaka for allegedly parading himself as a public relations consultant and trainer.

He was arraigned before Hon. Justice Bello Justice Kawu on three-count charges bordering on impersonation, fraud and forgery.

The police had in November, 2024, apprehended the 66 years old Siaka in the Wuse area of Abuja following an intelligence report.

He had allegedly staged a training programme where he extorted money from unsuspecting members of the public, posing as a Nigerian Institute of Public Relations-accredited trainer and consultant.

Siaka was also found in the illegal possession of letterheads and other insignia of the Institute. Further investigations revealed that he is neither a member of NIPR nor authorised to organise such training.

The prosecuting counsel, Barr. Okokon Mbruk opposed an oral application to grant the defendant bail, insisting that the offence which is criminal in nature requires a surety who would deposit a sum of money as security.

Counsel to the defendant, Barr. F.M Isong argued that his client, resident in Lagos has been on police administrative bail and has never failed to honour any invitation despite his health condition.

The court ordered the remand of the suspect in Kuje Correctional Centre till February 25, 2026 when it will rule on his bail application.

NIPR which regulates the practice of public relations in the country has repeatedly frowned at the activities of impersonators bringing the Institute's name to disrepute.

A guy i met in camp in 20i8 in Katsina State. I redeployed to Ogun state Ota and i met this same guy. I was posted to school and one evening i was taking a walk and i met this this same guy, Fola, he showed me where he stays which is not far from my PPA.
I went to met him the next day and in my usual unserious playful mode, I told him bro abeg cut me soap see as you the ball. What started as a joke soon became something that have altered my life in a way i can't even Imagin. He took a pin and pieced my finger and used the blood to touch something he brought from his bathroom and gave me a leaf to hang on my windows and not to allow it to touch the ground and after three to four days i should go outside and burry it close to where there is running water or tap. and i should go there at night to make requests or wishes. While all of this was going on i was seriously praying in my mind whit the intention that once i get out, i will just throw the leaf, when i got out, that was how i took the leaf to my house and did exactly what he asked me to do, now the funniest thing is that I completely forgot I did anything of such ofter the third day. It’s been 7 years already and as though I those thing I said are happening . How do I put an end to this thing
