Stanley Epini Ejiroghene Adjogbe, who is suspected to be a fake lawyer has been remanded by a high court in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.
,
Justice Chinwendu Nwogu ordered the remand of Adjogbe following an investigations which was carried out into his case after the he failed to convince the court and Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Port Harcourt branch, of his lawyer status during a court appearance that was held on Wednesday, November 1.

Ibikiri Otorubio, who was in charge of the investigation stated that he had to raise alarm when he noticed his ignorance on common points of law.

“Based on the petition we wrote to the Commissioner of Police, we suspected he was fake when the matter on a bounced cheque came up for the first time for a plea. He turned to me and asked ‘Counsel, what is the punishment of bounced cheque?'” Oturubio said.

“I was taken aback that as very senior counsel he claimed to be, he does not know the punishment for bounced cheque. I now told him, “ah, counsel you do not know? It is two years imprisonment.’

“He now turned to my client and said ‘do what I have said.’ so my client now had to write a petition to the Commissioner of Police, wrote to Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) who said he is not a lawyer who has been called to the bar.”

Confirming the incident, Tthe Chairman, NBA Port Harcourt branch, Prince Onyekwere, said, “His name is not found in our database. Of course, every lawyer in Nigeria has an enrollment number and the Supreme Court keeps that list of lawyers and Supreme Court has written that they do not have his name.

“What we then did was plead with the court to allow us opportunity with him to produce his call to bar certificate so we will know both NBA and Supreme Court are mistaking and correct that mistake, but we doubt. It is quite unusual that NBA and Supreme Court will not have the name of the lawyer that was called to the bar in Nigeria.”

The suspect was further remanded to stop him from disappearing while his trial lasts.

Adjogbe still hasn’t been able to speak up and tell the court or the NBA which law school he attended.
