A man who has been duping people by parading himself as a lawyer has been arrested by men of the Osun State police command.
The 35-year-old fake lawyer, Muhammed Aliyu Agbaje, was paraded by the Osun State police commissioner Olawale Olokode, after he was caught at a police station where he had gone to bail a suspect.
According to him, Agbaje appeared at the CP’s Surveillance station, Obelawo Area, Osogbo, to represent and seek for the bail for a suspect arrested for the offence of ‘threat to life’ and claimed to have come from the chamber of one Barrister Adeleye in Ibadan.
Upon close scrutiny, he was found to be fake.
The suspect’s home at Owode Ede in Osun State was searched. Some exhibits were reportedly recovered from his residence.
The police boss said the suspect confessed to have been impersonating to be a lawyer and duping unsuspecting victims.
He said the suspect would be charged to court after the completion of the investigation.
