Lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Emeka Ephraim Ugwuonye has been temporarily banned from legal practice in Nigeria.

Ugwuonye recently joined the legal team of Nnamdi Kanu.

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.

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.

Meanwhile, Ugwuonye in a statement entitled “The Suppressed Truth About the Case Between the Embassy of Nigeria and Emeka Ugwuonye in Washington” threw more light on the cases and the meaning of a default judgement, attaching the court docket to buttress his point. His words:

As the docket entries below, which I am just getting to see after the much hullabaloo in Nigerian online lynch reports, shows, what has happened in the case has been deliberately mischaracterized and distorted by my enemies with personal axes to grind. This is a civil lawsuit over a fee dispute between a lawyer and his clients. The imputation of crime through the use of words like, “Stealing”, “Stole”, “Thief”, “Fraud” and the rest are absolutely not what the court has said. Indeed, such are attempts by some desperate Nigerians to lie against the Court and input to the Court a judgment it never gave.

Obviously, such has served the interest of a desperate Ambassador, who has been all out to cover up the embezzlement of over 25 million dollars he perpetrated while in Washington. It is unfortunate however that most Nigerians might not have been able to see the massive cover-up, which is what this noise about Emeka Ugwuonye has been.

Anyone, who cares for the truth, by merely looking at the docket entries below, would see that the court only entered what is called “Clerk’s Entry of Default”. For the meaning of “default judgment” see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_judgment.

“Default judgment is a binding judgment in favor of either party based on some failure to take action by the other party. Most often, it is a judgment in favor of a plaintiff when the defendant has not responded to a summons or has failed to appear before a court of law. The failure to take action is the default. The default judgment is the relief requested in the party's original petition, which is why initial pleadings are often so exaggerated.

But he tried as much as possible to win the case for Nnamdi Kanu, so why the allegation against him now. Fraud! Why not say he is corrupt before now. Nija I hail. undecided

After making derogatory remarks against Biafra, he now wants to join on Kanu's legal team, he just wants to tap from Kanu's popularity and upgrade his profile. Opportunists everywhere.
