A 51-year-old man, Walter Okafor, was on Thursday arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly conspiring to forge goods of a company.
Okafor, 35, whose address was not provided, faces a two-count charge of conspiracy and forgery.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges levelled against him.
The Prosecutor, Supol Josephine Ikhayere, said the offence was committed in December 2023 at the Idumota area of Lagos State.
Ikhayere said the defendant and others still at large duplicated and forged Kiss condom packages, both small and large sizes.
She alleged they reproduced the Kiss condom packs without approval or consent from TK2 International Nig. Ltd.

Section 363 prescribes three years’ imprisonment for anyone found guilty of forging any document, writing, or seal.
The Magistrate, Mr Lafeef A. Owolabi, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N500,000.
He also ordered two reliable sureties in like sum and adjourned the case to July 1 for mention.
