Police in the Eastern Region have arrested a 32-year-old man named Isaac Mensah. He is accused of pretending to be a lawyer.
The arrest happened after he allegedly appeared in court to represent someone.
He is said to have taken on the role of a lawyer during a land dispute case. This case was heard at the Koforidua High Court.
The Ghana Police Service is investigating the matter. Details of the legal proceedings he allegedly interfered with are being reviewed.
Further legal action will follow based on the investigation findings. The police did not name the defendant Mensah allegedly represented.
This incident raises questions about court security and the measures in place to verify legal representation.
Impersonating a legal professional is a serious offense. It undermines the justice system and can mislead clients.
