‎Senior Nigerian Lawyer Stripped of SAN Title

June 23, 2017
Evelyn Okakwu


Nigeria’s Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee has stripped a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, B. I. Nwofor, of his title as senior advocate.

The decision which was taken at the Committee’s 126th general meeting held on June 22 was contained in a letter from the privileges committee signed by the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Ahmed Salleh.

“The Legal Practitioner’s Privileges Committee at its 126th General Meeting held on June 22nd 2017, considered extensively the complaint filled by the court of appeal of Nigeria against B. E . I. Nwofor, Esq. A Senior Advocate of Nigeria with his response to same and all material facts and have decided that B. E. I. Nwofor Esq; a Senior Advocate of Nigeria conducted himself in a manner unbefitting of a holder of the esteemed rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

“By reason of the foregoing, the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria _(including all its privileges)_ has been withdrawn from B. E. I Nwofor, forthwith,” the statement said.

It was not immediately clear what the allegations were against Mr. Nwofor.

Fp by fire by force ehn...op

Very good.
This is a welcome development.
Majority of our SANs are nt worthy of that title. They are just too corrupt.
I'm very sure there must have been series of petitions against the man.
Once again, this is very good.

Noted.

Lawyers.....spits.

How e take concern me

1000 FPs and 10000 FTCs cannot give you 1naira on nairaland forget the naira and assume it's a land

Why always these type of names..... Sorry for checking names

Anyway, the real reason lawyer B.E.I Nwofor Was Stripped Off SAN Tittle is Because Of His Role In PDP & Ali Modu Sheriff's Case

Good question

I believe it should be prudent for the Legal Action Committee to state the offence(s) committed by the said lawyer.

If you in kwara state (UK used) I phone 6 (16gig) for sale @ 117k check my Signature for my contact or you come to our shop @ challenge in ilorin

Everybody just dey reject us

interesting

"Lawyers are born liars". It's the job of a lawyer to sell you a liar. You can choose to buy it or not. The choice is up to you. Those who defended Ibori did so because that's what they were paid to do.

But nobody is telling us the manner in which he conducted himself na. Shey the nigga carry ballot box run ni abi wetin happen gangan?

someone will still say, it's because he is from the south east,
and the second idiot will blame it on Buhari, APC led administration,

HOW ABOUT THE CONTROVERSIAL SANS AND JUDGES GIVING CONTRARY JUDGEMENTS?

Probably this one belongs to PDP

In IPOD voice
We have been compromised
We will not take this!

woow

It can happen to anybody

I just knew the lawyer had to be a Southerner. If a northerner committed the same offence, it would have been overlooked.

I hope he didn't carry drugs or get involved in kidnapping.
