The fake lawyer told the police that his father abandoned his mother when she was pregnant with him. He dropped out of the university in his second year due to financial challenges. So in order to spit his father, he decided to be a fake lawyer.

“I dropped out of the University of Ibadan (UI) from the law department in 2022 when I could no longer pay school fees.

I decided to start practising as a fake lawyer to swindle people in courts because my father who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) decided to neglect myself and my mother after he impregnated her.

I do this crime to spite him. I regret my action, my father is the one that destroys my life. He denied me as his son and never took responsibility for me,” he said.

The state Commandant, Agboola Sunday, parading the suspect at the Command’s headquarters in Oke Ayepe, Osogbo, told the newsmen that Ayarinde had allegedly defrauded POS agents inside court buildings in various states while always dressing as a lawyer.

“The suspect presented himself as a Barrister of law to one driver on the 23rd May 2023 whose service he requested to drive him first to State High Court Osogbo before heading to Federal High Court, Akure.

The suspect in his full regalia entered the court, exchange pleasantries with lawyers, and thereafter approached a POS woman around the court premises and collected the sum of One hundred and fifty thousand naira with the aim to do the transfer.

He had collected the phone of the driver to share his internet facility to help him transfer the money. He entered the court premises and disappeared into thin air, only to be tracked to Ilorin, Kwara State.

The suspected fake lawyer defrauded another driver who took him to Ilorin for the sum of N100,000, after which he was arrested,” the commander added.
