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
