A 45-year-old man, who had been parading himself as a human rights lawyer, has been arrested.
He was paraded yesterday by the Lagos State Police Command.
The suspect, Abayomi Balogun, who resides at Number 30, Sayanolu Street, Oko-oba, Agege, was arrested at Elere Police Station where he had gone to represent one of his ‘clients.’
He was paraded by police spokesman Frank Mba.
Balogun, a father of five children, told The Nation that he did not charge his ‘clients,’ but rather he helped them on humanitarian grounds.
He said: "My only regret is that I paraded myself as a lawyer when I am not.
"But I am not happy at the way the police detain people illegally without trial.
"If anybody says I have collected money from him or her, that person should come and testify."
