The National Industrial Court in Yola has in a letter to the NBA informed the NBA of how the court discovered a fake court order scam involving a member of the Nigeria Bar Association, Yola Branch. The fraudulent incident came to light when a fabricated Order Nisi was served on the United Bank of Africa (UBA), Yola Main Business Office on August 8, 2024.
The Presiding Judge of the Yola Judicial Division, Hon. Justice J.T. Agbadu Fishim, PhD, directed the Divisional Registrar, Paul T. Kure, to notify the Chairman of the Nigeria Bar Association, Yola Branch, about this serious matter. The fake court Order, which was attached for reference, was falsely issued by Barr. Ijeomul Emmanuel Tsamdu, a State Counsel 1 at Adamawa State Ministry of Justice.
Upon further investigation by the Court, the Bank Manager of UBA confirmed that Barr. Ijeomul Emmanuel Tsamdu was the individual who presented the fabricated order.
The Court urged Nigeria Bar Association, Yola Branch, to investigate the incident and take appropriate actions against its member.
