‘ISAAC OGBAH IS DETRIBALIZED TO THE CORE,’ VOWS SIMON NNADI

FEATURED

SIMON NNADI, ESQ. URGES LAWYERS IN NIGERIA TO OVERWHELMINGLY ENSURE THAT ISAAC OMUTA OGBAH BECOMES THE NEXT 3RD VICE PRESIDENT OF NBA

A legal practitioner based in Kaduna state has urged lawyers to see to the project that Isaac Omuta Ogbah emerges as the 3rd Vice President of NBA come July 16, 2022.

In a message to the legal community he stated as follows: “Gentlemen, I humbly welcome all of you to this project of helping our own, Isaac Omuta Ogbah, realise his selfless dream of becoming the 3rd Vice President of Nigerian Bar Association .

Isaac Omuta Ogbah is the Publisher of the Erudite Judgements of the Supreme Court (EJSC). He was the immediate past Chairman of NBA Ota Branch (The Utter Bar)”

“I knew Isaac Ogbah since 1993 in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka where we met as students of Law Faculty. Isaac was friendly and helpful to all who knew him or needed his help. He was not tired of making himself available for any task in the interest of his classmates, hostel and school Fellowship. He is a detribalised Nigerian to the core.

I am therefore not surprised that he is successfully climbing the ladder of leadership of our great NBA today.

I testify that Isaac is a man of unquestionable character, brilliant, selfless, bridge builder, team-worker, humble, prudently generous, God- fearing and highly unassuming.

Let us join hands together and make this project happen. The cap of VP3 fits him. Let us help him to wear it.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding” .

@I humbly remain
Yours sincerely”

Simon Nnadi
NBA KADUNA BRANCH

ANXIETY OVER ENERGY EXPERT, LUCIUS NWOSU SAN

There are strong indications that leading oil and gas lawyer, Mr. Lucius Nwosu SAN is dead.

A post on his University of Nigeria Enugu Campus 1976 alumni platform obtained by CITY LAWYER read: “BREAKING… Am distressed and in tears. Why do such things happen?! Can’t still believe it that Papa Doc is gone to the great beyond. He passed this morning. Hate to be a bearer of bad news. Na so we see am.”

Another post read: “LUCIOUS (sic) NWOSU SAN, may your soul rest in peace.” It would seem that his classmates nicknamed him “Papa Doc.”

A source who is a classmate of the fiery lawyer confirmed the sad news to CITY LAWYER , saying the news was originally broken by a judge who is also a classmate of the foremost oil pollution claims expert allegedly nicknamed “Lucifer Nwosu” by international oil companies for being a thorn in their flesh in his many legal battles for compensation for polluted oil-bearing communities.

He said that the news broke yesterday of Nwosu’s passing, adding that it was not until today that the news was confirmed. He stated that three members of the class have been mandated to visit his beloved wife.

Nwosu was lately entangled in a face-off which wrought a crisis within the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC), leading to the resignation of its chairman and two members due to alleged meddlesomeness by the Body of Benchers.

This also led him to petition the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President, Mr. Olumide Akpata in a letter dated February 17, 2022 urging him to impress on leading lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN “to refrain from bidding for the Chairmanship of the Body of Benchers failing which, the Bar should politely withdraw his candidacy.”

Continuing, he wrote in the four-page letter: “Mr. President, I do not have anything to gain or lose personally by Chief Olanipekun SAN remaining in or becoming Chairman of the Body of Benchers, but I would rather not be your goodself as president and alter ego of the Nigeria Bar Association, when this tragic circumstances will be ascribed to your tenure. Hence this urgent note of caution.”

It was unclear whether Akpata responded to Nwosu’s petition. However, the Body of Benchers brushed aside the controversy to elevate Olanipekun to the position of Chairman of the elite body.
