Fake Lawyer Arrested in Lagos Court While Representing Client
Police have arrested a suspected fake lawyer identified as Godwin Eguabor while he was representing a client in a court in Lagos state.
Eguabor reportedly appeared before a magistrate court in the Badagry area of Lagos on Wednesday on behalf of a litigator.
Atule Elchors, the vice-chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Badagry branch, said at the court hearing on Wednesday, Eguabor announced his appearance as legal counsel to a client.
โI stood up and told the court that the person who appeared before the magistrate is not a legal practitioner,โ NAN quoted the NBA vice-chairman saying.
โAnd that we have been looking out for him.
โWe asked for his supreme court number, which is the enrollment number of every lawyer, but he could not answer, he was just telling us stories.

โThe worst thing is that the name he is using in court is different from the name he gave the police when they came to arrest him.โ
