The man, who was posing as a lawyer, was arrested in an Anambra State High Court after the presiding judge grew suspicious of his presentation during a routine hearing.

Chaos ensued when law enforcement officers attempted to handcuff him, leading to a brief scuffle. The judge ordered his arrest and he was subsequently led out of the courtroom.
According to reports from various authoritative sources, including news outlets and government websites, the incident occurred on a Friday at an Anambra State High Court. The man, who had been masquerading as a lawyer, was swiftly exposed during a routine hearing when the presiding judge grew suspicious of his presentation.
The scene played out in front of a packed courtroom and was captured in a viral video that made the rounds on social media. As the case progressed, it became increasingly obvious that the supposed lawyer was not who he claimed to be. The judge, sensing something amiss, exclaimed “Stop him, No Lawyer can do this, if you’re a Lawyer, you won’t do this. Officer, there is an impostor here, this man is not a Lawyer.”
The accused willingly removed his wig and robe when asked to do so but resisted when law enforcement officers attempted to handcuff him. This led to a brief scuffle in the courtroom. The judge then declared “I am hereby ordering his arrest in my court. This man is not a lawyer; he’s an impostor.”
In an attempt to ascertain the impostor’s true identity, the judge posed a series of pointed questions including “Where and when did you graduate?” and “What is your name, and where is your identification card?” However, the man’s response was evasive and he claimed to have forgotten his identification card at home. His inability to provide concrete answers only served to deepen suspicions surrounding his true intentions. He was subsequently arrested and led out of the courtroom in handcuffs.
