FAKE LAWYER OMONIYI ARRESTED

LUCKY LAWAL

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Omoniyi Vacoster who has been parading himself as a lawyer and holding legal brief for unsuspecting members of the public.

The suspect was arrested on the 1st of February, 2018 following a complaint by one Omomehin Oluwatoyin of the
Ogun State chapter of Nigeria Bar Association who reported that the said Omoniyi Vacoster has been coming to various courts in Ogun State to defend cases, but NBA’s investigation about him indicated that he has never at any time been called to the Nigerian Bar.

Upon the complaint, the DPO Ibara Division assigned the Divisional Crime Officer, DSP Dada Olusegun to arrest and investigate the suspect.
Omoniyi was eventually arrested and interrogated. The suspect confessed that though he read Law in the university, that he has never been called to the Bar because he failed to go through the Law School hence he was not qualified to practice as a lawyer.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed iliyasu has ordered that the case be transferred to State Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence department for further investigation and prosecution of the suspect.
