A concerned Indigene of Kano who prefers his name be concealed raised an alarm and called on Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to do a thorough checks of its authentic bonafide members.
He alleged that quacks have infiltrated the noble profession in recent times and only through rigorous proper records and indepth checks will wade off the quacks among the good members of the profession.
The Kano based concerned citizen said the legal profession is one where practitioners are referred to as Ministers in the temple of Justice, individuals who are considered to be above average, Men of integrity with a deep respect for the law.
He however raised an alarm that one Barr Bako Yunusa Gambo was uncovered and alleged to be a fake Lawyer practicing Law in Kano for the past eighteen years.
The Concerned citizen revealed that Barr Bako Yunusa Gambo started his legal profession in the popular chamber of M.A LAWAN & CO, the office of the former Attorney General of Kano State, since then he has been parading himself as a qualified Lawyer under the name B.Y Gambo Eqr and has established a Law firm by named B.Y Gambo & Co in Kano and is located at N0. 8 & 9 Maiduguri road, opp. APC Office, Hotoro, kano.
The imposter lawyer claimed to have been called to the bar in 2007. However, upon examining the official list of the 3 , 041 candidates called to the bar in 2007 , the name Bako Yunusa Gambo was nowhere to be found. The closest match to the name on the list is Bako Haruna Gambo, found on page 47, called on friday 16th November, 2007 at 10:00am, number 87 on the call list.
It has also been revealed that there have been payments made in the name of Bako Haruna Gambo, esquire, for the annual practice fee to the NBA and also NBA seal issued in the name of Bako Haruna Gambo. Yet, Bako Haruna Gambo has never made an appearance in court.
Whenever the seal of Bako Haruna Gambo is used, the name B.Y Gambo signs the document. Further check on the official website of the Nigeria bar Association www.nigerianbar.org.ng Bako Yunusa Gambo is not in the list of lawyers in Nigeria.
Interestingly, it was uncovered that the real BAKO HARUNA GAMBO went to Bayero university kano and studied criminology.
Checks further discovered that Bako Haruna Gambo is the Biological Brother of Bako Yunusa Gambo and there are allegations that Bako Yunusa Gambo, for whatever reason, decided to use Bako Haruna Gambo's O’ level certificate to gain admission and studied law at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria.
After graduating and attending law school, he began practicing as Bako Yunusa Gambo ( B .Y Gambo) , his actual name, in Kano. This was likely due to the fear of being exposed if he presents himself as Bako Haruna Gambo.
Bako Yunusa Gambo allegedly did not pass his O’ level exams to qualify for admission to study law, so he used his Brother's certificate to deceptively gain entry into Ahmadu Bello University and the Nigerian Law School.
There is no record of a Bako Yunusa Gambo in the 2007 list of lawyers called to the Barr neither is Bako Yunusa Gambo found .in the official list of lawyers on the Nigerian bar association website. www.nigerianbar.org.ng.
Therefore, there is strong suspicion of identity fraud and impersonation, which is unbecoming and almost a taboo to be condoned in the noble profession, we therefore call on the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to cause an indepth investigation into this occurrence help sanitize the profession .
Bako however when contacted in his office in Kano said is a successful Lawyer who graduated 2006, 2007 and called to Bar.
According to him the success of every lawyer lies on determination, be serious in all you do and be resilient and above all integrity, transparency and honesty will set one apart that will soar one high to achieve excellent results in life.
Bako bragged that one of his successful case is of Adams Ali Zaki and one Assistant Inspector of Police (AIG), by attacking the process of Adams rascality against the law over a property in Kano.
"I'm a salient achiever, I go cool in whatever I do I go solo, who hates injustice. I'm a politician who contributed to the emergence of the present administration of Yusuf Kabir.
"I'm qualified, who has finished university degree and called to Nigerian Barr. Winning a case does not make you qualified lawyer. Winning or losing cannot make you an excellent lawyer.
"Facts are sacral. How you make or conduct himself in Court is what make you a good lawyer." Bako said
He said all those acclaiming is not a qualified lawyer or fake can go further to find out wether he is fake or not.
