Drama unfolded yesterday at the Magistrate Court in Orhunwhorhun, Udu Local Government Area of Delta State, when a man posing as a lawyer was arrested while attempting to represent a client.
Eyewitnesses reported that the suspect, dressed in full legal attire, confidently appeared in court and presented himself as a barrister ready to handle proceedings. However, suspicions arose among legal practitioners present, prompting further questioning.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that he was an impostor with no qualifications to practice law. Court officials immediately raised an alarm, and security operatives arrested him on the spot.
The incident has sparked reactions within the legal community and among residents, with many expressing concern over the growing trend of impostors infiltrating professional spaces. Authorities have confirmed that the suspect will face charges related to impersonation and fraud.
The arrest serves as a warning about the dangers of fake legal practitioners, as cases like this undermine public trust in the justice system.
