The case was adjourned to June 7, 2017, for hearing.
Earlier, the lead prosecutor, Lawrence Nwakaeti, who announced appearance for the Owerri branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, told the court that he had obtained the fiat of the attorney general of the state to prosecute the alleged fake lawyer.
Nwakaeti, who is the chairman of the Owerri Branch of the NBA argued that Udeozo should not be released on bail because the accused had no known address and relation.
