Chris Elisha who had been
practicing as a lawyer for the past fifteen years without being spotted, was on 6th of February, 2018, arrested at Ojo Magistrate court
where he appeared on behalf of an accused person but found it difficult to move
a motion for the variation of the bail condition of his client.
His predicament did not go
unnoticed by one Barrister Nnamdi Samuel Nwafor who challenged his qualification.
According to Bar. Nnamdi
Nwafor , a newly qualified lawyer that is yet to cut his teeth at the bar would
have been able to move a motion without qualms. The hot argument between
both men attracted the attention of other lawyers and the court duty policemen.
The officers took the
suspect to the nearby Ojo Police Station where he confessed that he is a mere ”
charge and bail lawyer” who had been practising for the past fifteen years.
He claimed he was more into
corporate law practice and does little of litigation. He stated further that he
read law at Eastern Ukrainian University, in the former Soviet Union but had no
certificate to show for it.
“Barrister ” Chris Elisha
told the police that he is a native of Avodim Ubakala in Abia state.
The suspect is currently
undergoing interrogation at the X- Squad Section of the State Police Command
Headquarters and would be charged to court at the conclusion of investigation.
