The Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested Ugwumba Enyinnaya, a man who allegedly impersonated a lawyer for more than 11 years. Enyinnaya, who collected ₦650,000 from a man named Chukwu David in March 2026 to facilitate the processing of a street naming in Ohaozara Local Government Area, was charged with obtaining money by false pretense.
He admitted to not being a lawyer during interrogation and had several exhibits recovered from his apartment, including a Nigerian Bar Association seal, purported degree certificates, and legal documents. The police have charged him to court and urged the public to verify the credentials of legal service providers.
