Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Reportedly Barred From Practice In Nigeria
Emeka Ugwuonye , the lawyer to Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, who recently joined the legal team that sought the release of Mr. Kanu from Kuje prison has been reportedly temporarily barred from legal practice in Nigeria.
The former United States-based Nigerian lawyer, who was disbarred in New York and Maryland for professional misconduct, was yesterday also disbarred in Nigeria, to which he had relocated, for the same offense.
Sahara Reporters said Ugwuonye’s sanction was ordered by the Nigeria’s Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee, LPDC, of the Body of Benchers, a unit which punishes misconduct among lawyers.
LPDC ordered Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to strike out Ugwuonye’s name. J.S. Okutepa (SAN) who is the Chief Prosecutor of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) at the LPDC found Ugwuonye liable for fraud and promised to give details of the direction of LPDC in due course.

when I saw that Kanus lawyer has been bared from practice, I thought it is his lead lawyer Ejiofor. thank God it is not him. As for Emeka Ugwuonye, he is not the one that has been with the case from the beginning,. the Due Process Advocates founder has a case with one Amanda Chisom that is still in court in addition to other involvement in respect to money

No Bro ugwuonye is the one that offers himself to bail some ipob members not as NNAMDI KANU lawyer but he never believed in ipob and biafra agitation watch more of his videos he releases on Line he wanted to use ipob and NNAMDI KANU case to be popular bcos no body knows him NNAMDI KANU lawyer is bar Ifeanyi ejiofor and Co and these are the true biafrans not bcos of money ipob paid him but he cried for biafra and said it opened that biafra must be free so please forget ugwuonye and his advocate
