Oladimeji RamonThe Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee says it has stripped a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Kunle Ogunba, of the SAN rank. According to the press release, the petition leading to the striping of Ogunba of the SAN rank was authored by Honeywell Group. The NBA listed the cases, including Ekobank vs Honeywell Flour Mills Plc, Ecobank vs Siloam Global Services Limited, Ecobank vs Anchorage Leisures, Ecobank vs Honeywell Group Ltd, among others. “In the light of the foregoing, we will be unable to further inquire into the matter by forwarding the petition to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee. The petition is hereby dismissed as it lacks merit.”Meanwhile, the LPPC also said it had rescinded its move to confer the SAN rank on Mrs. Oluwatoyin Bashorun, who it earlier listed among those it considered to confer with the rank last year.
