Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Banned From Practising In Nigeria

A lawyer to Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, identified as Emeka Ephraim Ugwuonye has been banned from practising law in Nigeria.

According to Sahara Reporters, Ephraim, was barred by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC),

Chief Prosecutor of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) at the LPDC, J.S. Okutepa (SAN) reportedly said Ugwuonye was found guilty of fraud.

The LPDC also urged the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to strike out Ugwuonye’s name.

Ugwuonye, who  has 28 days to appeal the ruling of the LPDC, has reportedly also been disbarred in the US states of Washington DC, New York and Maryland for professional misconduct.
