A man, who had allegedly posed as a lawyer, has been remanded in police custody and may be charged to 14 years imprisonment if found guilty. He was identified as Stanley Adjogbe.

Justice Chinwendu Nwogu gave the order for his remand, pending outcome of investigations into his case. This was due to the suspect’s failure to convince the court and Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Port Harcourt branch, that he was indeed a lawyer during a court appearance on Wednesday.

Ibikiri Otorubio had raised the alarm after he noticed the supposed senior lawyer was ignorant on common points of law.

Otorubo said, “Based on the petition we wrote to the Commissioner of Police, where we suspected he was fake was 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?’

“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.”

The 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.”


Since his last trial could not inform the court and NBA the law school attended by the suspect, he was remanded to preempt possible disappearance.

In the new confession, she denied killing him but that she had left the apartment briefly to buy some things only to find his lifeless body when she returned.

“I never had anything to do with his death. I didn’t involve anybody. I don’t know who must have come into the apartment. Definitely, somebody did but I don’t who the person is. I don’t know what happened when I left to buy food,” Chidinma said

The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has brought to book a citizen of Benin Republic, Adamu Sabi Sime, for allegedly having sex with his biological mother. The suspect, however, did not show any form of regret for his incestuous actions, rather he argued that his culture and tradition permitted it.

According to NSCDC Public Relations Officer, Babawale Afolabi, in Ilorin, Adamu’s mother had three children for her son.

The alleged incest was reported by the district head of Mosne community in the Kaiama Local Government Area of the state, Mallam Bandede.

It was further discovered that the suspect immigrated into Nigeria illegally.

The statement reads; “on Thursday September 9, 2021, one Mallam Bandede, the district head of Mosne Had community in the Kaiama local government area of the state reported an incestuous act being committed by one Adamu Sabi Sime and his mother, Fati Sime, of the same community.

“Men from the intelligence unit and NSCDC operatives in Kaiama swung into action and the outcome of the investigations established the fact that the mother (Fati) has three children for her biological son. Further check revealed that the younger brother of the accused, who was also confirmed to be sleeping with the mother is now at large.

“The mother and her two sons don’t even have necessary papers to stay in Nigeria. They have been handed over to the Nigeria Immigration Service for background check and further actions.”
