A letter from the Nigerian Bar Association asking legal luminary, Wole Olanipekun , to step aside as the chairman of the Body of Benchers to enable the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee to determine a petition against a partner in his firm, Adekunbi Ogunde, surfaced in the media at the weekend.
In a letter dated June 24, Olanipekun apologised to Ajumogobia and explained that he did not authorise the attempt to hijack his client.It read in part: “First, let it be known without any equivocation that the said letter was written without the instruction, authority, mandate, approval or consent of Wole Olanipekun & Co.; it was also not brought to our attention by the writer.
“We unreservedly apologise to the highly respected H. Odein Ajumogobia, SAN, OFR, and the entire law firm of Ajumogobia & Okeke for the embarrassment which the letter might have caused them; but let it be known that the letter has also caused us a lot of embarrassment as well.” Working pro bono, Olanipekun, alongside Funke Adekoya, SAN, and Babajide Ogundipe, got the federal high court to set aside the offending provisions of the Money Laundering Act. The judgment of the federal high court was appealed to the court of appeal. It was the same Olanipekun who, pro bono, represented the NBA at the court of appeal, where the decision of the federal high court was affirmed.
