A fake lawyer by the Saidu Adbullahi has been arrested in Zaria
on the 28th day of May, 2019.
Mr. Abdullahi who is also an Ex-Convict claimed to be a graduate
of the Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto, and has practiced law for
many years before he was exposed by other legal practitioners
within jurisdiction.
He also claimed to have been called to Nigerian Bar in the year
2009. However, the NBA Zaria branch chairman, Mr. Yemi Adekunle,
disclosed that the suspect didn’t graduate as he was dismissed in
his second year of studies.
It was gathered that the fake lawyer was once convicted for
impersonating a lecturer, and fraudulently collected the sum of
N40,000 from a student after promising to make the student pass his
exams with flying colours.
Further findings revealed that Mr. Abdullahi had faced several
petitions for defrauding his supposed clients.
After his arrest by the Police, he confessed to have
impersonated a legal practitioner, and begged for forgiveness.
The Police however promised to charge the suspect to court in no
time.

My Government Will Prioritise School Feeding- Gov
AbdulRazaq
Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Wednesday said
the state would join the national school feeding programme after
properly studying it.
AbdulRazaq said the programme would boost school enrolment and
help nutritional needs of the children.
“We have met with the coordinator of the programme on how
(Kwara) can join. So we will definitely join it after we have
studied it,” he said at a special meeting he held with party
leaders and members in Ilorin, the state capital.
AbdulRazaq also said his administration would always consult
with the party and the people before taking decisions on issues in
a bid to build consensus and inclusiveness.
However, he lauded the party leadership and members for their
support before, during and after the general elections.
Lamenting the zero representation of women in the House of
Assembly, the governor promised to compensate women with
appointments and properly engage the youths as part of the efforts
to build a viable state
He reiterated his pledge to embark on massive infrastructural
development in the state, especially in the northern senatorial
district which he said had long been neglected.
AbdulRazaq thanked members of the party who took part in the
Transition Committee (TC), especially the chairman Aminu Adisa
Loogun.
He added: “They did a wonderful job. What we thought we knew
about the rot was a child’s play. While we are still studying their
huge report, it is clear we were wrong on the extent of the damage
done to our state. We are in a deeper mess than we thought but
we’ll face it frontally and move our state forward.”
APC chairman in the state Bashir Bolarinwa, for his part,
commended the governor for choosing a low-key swearing-in program
and for identifying with the party so early in his
administration.
He called on party members to rally round AbdulRazaq in the
overall interest of the state.
“Our people’s yearnings are loud, their expectations are high.
We cannot afford to let them down,” Bolarinwa said.
