Fake lawyer arrested while appearing in case before Delta Court.
A fake lawyer simply identified as U.T Oghenetejiri was on Thursday arrested at the Magistrate Court, Orhunwhorhun in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State.
The suspect, who appeared in a civil matter that was charged before the court, was apprehended by members of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Udu Branch’s Anti-Fake lawyer Committee, led by David Omage and G. Fenfe, after he failed respond to a question posed before him by the magistrate in the courtroom.
Instead, he took to his heels as court staff and lawyers chased him to the Orhuwhorun market where he was arrested.
It was revealed that Oghenetejiri had been frequenting courts in the area for several months, allegedly representing clients under the guise of being a qualified legal practitioner.
His inconsistent legal arguments and evasive answers about his law school background raised red flags.
NBA Udu Branch Chairman, Edmund Odohisi, Esq, said the association had received prior complaints about an individual impersonating a lawyer and had launched a quiet investigation.
“We took the matter seriously because the integrity of the legal profession is at stake,” Odohisi said.
