ABA— A lawyer, identified as Ndubuisi Uhugbu, has been arraigned before an Aba South Magistrate’s Court presided over by Chijioke Nwogu after he allegedly failed to produce a client he took on bail at the Police Area Command, Aba.

Vanguard gathered that Uhugbu had, on December 1, 2015, stood surety for his client, Nkechinyere Eze, detained by the police for allegedly issuing a three million Naira dud cheque to a business partner, with the promise to produce her on demand.

Uhugbu failed to produce Eze on December 8, 2015, as he promised and was subsequently charged to court.
