Afe Babalola, Olanipekun protest Supreme Court's N60m penalty, criticism

Two eminent lawyers, Chief Afe Babalola and Chief Wole Olanipekun , have formally protested the heavy cost imposed on them and the harsh words directed at them by the Supreme Court at their appearance in relation to the Bayelsa State governorship election judgment.

In two protest letters addressed to the National Executive Council of the Nigerian Bar Association , Chief Babalola and Olanipekun are insisting that they did no wrong by asking the court to take a second look at its earlier judgment. “I repeat again, with every emphasis at my disposal and all sense of responsibility that I/we did no wrong, committed no error and did/do not deserve the harsh comments in the leading ruling of the Honourable Justice Amina Augie.

“The action of the Court, aside from being unfair and totally unwarranted, is, if not urgently addressed, capable of sending a wrong signal to judges of courts, lower in hierarchy to the Supreme Court about how they can and should relate with lawyers, who appear before them to plead the case of their clients.

“Costs have never been imposed to intimidate counsel as is apparent in th cost orders made by the Supreme Court in this instance.
