The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 50 year old man, Azeez Agbool, for unlawfully parading himself as a legal practitioner, and caught as a ‘defence’ lawyer at magistrate court in the state.
Penpushing reports that, the Command Public Relations Officer Abimbola Oyeyemi made this known on Thursday, explaining that the suspect, a resident of Oko Afor area of Badagry Lagos state, was arrested while appearing as a counsel before Chief Magistrate B.I Ilo, at the Chief Magistrate court Agbara.
The police statement said the suspect presentation in court aroused the suspicion of the Chief Magistrate, who invited the police to arrest him for proper interrogation, in order to authenticate his claim of being a lawyer.
“Upon his arrest, the suspect was personally interrogated by the Dpo Agbara division SP Dahiru Saleh, and he confessed that though he read law in the university, he has not been called to Bar since he has not passed the law school examination”, Oyeyemi said.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police Edward Ajogun has ordered that the suspect be charged to court as soon as possible.
