 NBA Cracks Down on Fake Lawyers, Arrests Two in Delta


The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) intensified its efforts against fake legal practitioners on Monday, leading to the arrest of a suspected fake lawyer, Tega Ikupa, in Effurun, Delta State.


Ikupa was caught while preparing a Deed of Conveyance using the seal of a Sapele-based lawyer, Israel Onoge Esq. His sister-in-law, alleged to be an accomplice, was also arrested. Both suspects were taken into custody at the Ebrumede Police Station.


The arrest took place at the premises of Magistrate Court 1, Effurun, following the intervention of lawyers from the Warri, Effurun, and Udu branches of the NBA. Upon discovery of the forged seal, the lawyers contacted Onoge, who confirmed he had not authorized its use.


During interrogation, Ikupa admitted that the documents were provided by his sister-in-law, who later confessed that a surveyor in Adeje Community, Okpe, prepared them for ₦80,000. The police have since launched an investigation, with the Ebrumede Divisional Police Officer, CSP Iwok Ndifereke, ordering the arrest of the alleged surveyor.


This latest crackdown follows the recent arrest of two other fake lawyers in Ovwian, Udu Local Government Area.
