Law has caught up with a 34-year-old man, Matthew Olaleye, who has been parading himself as a lawyer has been arrested while representing a client in a criminal trial at the Ojokoro Magistrate's Court in Lagos.
The
fake legal practitioner's albatross came when the General Secretary of
the Ikeja branch of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Barrister Seyi
Olawumi, made a report of Olaleye's nefarious activities and the police
trailed him to the court premises where he was arrested.
According
to the NBA Secretary, Olayeye’s appearance and manner of speech before
the magistrate when he appeared as counsel in a matter attracted
suspicion among the lawyers present at the court.
The lawyers then contacted the NBA which had since been trailing him till he was arrested.
