The Imo State Police Command said it has arrested one kate Nneoma Duruji for parading herself as a lawyer.
In a release issued by the Media Aide to CP Abutu Yaro, CSP Mike Abattam and made available to newsmen, it was gathered that she has been parading herself as a lawyer to unsuspecting victims and was formally arrested on Monday, when she falsely presented herself before the police as a barrister at law.
“When she was interrogated, the suspect confessed to the crime which led to the recovery of a lawyer’s wig conspicuously displayed on the dashboard of her Toyota Camry car with registration number ABUJA ABC 460 GG.
“However, investigation is still ongoing and as soon as it is concluded she will be arraigned in court”, Abattam said.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police Imo Command, CP Abutu Yaro has appealed to Imo people to be wary of fake lawyers and advised them to ensure that they approach genuine solicitors and advocates, warning those go about impersonating lawyers to desist from such act as anyone found wanting will be arrested and prosecuted forthwith.
