It might not be unconnected with B.E.I. Nwofor being Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi's lawyer.

Worgu Boms, former Attoney-General and Commissioner for Justice during Amaechi's tenure was also barred from practicing in Port Harcourt by the Nigerian Bar Association, Port Harcourt Branch. Boms has grown white hair by force and he is now a staunch Magnus Abe supporter.

Well B.E.I. Nwofor has made enough bread from Amaechi and can even choose to ditch the legal profession if he so chooses. I know his Chambers at Agudama Street, D Line, Port Harcourt

Maybe that's why my conscience didn't let me study law when I got admission then.

"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.

Dont be too fast to judge and conclude. What was his crime and do you know of there was a fair hearing?
We should be careful on how we run into conclusion over matters we are not well grounded in. Shalom ( quote author=Oche211 post=57796533]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.

Its not a corruption related issue.
I think it has to do wt d Sherrif vs Markafi tussle where he on behalf of his clients sued or joined d presiding judges in d substantive matter instead of just appealing their judgement.

Senior Advocates that defend looters. What happened to those that defended Ibori against the Nigerian state?

But that is the job of an advocate, to create and present a defence case in court. It is the job of the judge and jury using the laws to make a judgement. Everywhere in the world there are defense and prosecution lawyers and advocates for every case brought to court.

You can be struck off for unlawful conduct and dealings as a legal professional but NEVER for defending a criminal.

Keep thinking like this and you won't go far in life. 100% certain.

There's no ”We” there, when it comes to an individual's personal achievements and it's consequencies.
Sadly, Nairaland has greatly harmed many an I.Q into thinking it is so.

‎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.

Good for nigeria. Let the high and mighty be accountable.

Actually, not so my sister.
Unlike d north which is much more united, its not so with d south. The south has Two major groups the part that hates and abhors crime/criminals and the part that thrives/eulogizes/rationalises (and has unflinching affinity affinity for) crime/criminals.

Nuff said. wink

u are very sure of what? May be he is corrupt. But did u consider that maybe he is a good person been punished for going against the government. When corrupt people singles someone out for punishment, there is usually something wrong.

My Guy, you are 100% correct, no lawyer will sue a Judge, you appeal his Judgement if dis satisfied with a ruling. During that incident, Nwafor sets a very bad precedent by joining those Appeal court judges in the matter, the present CJN seriously quarreled with him then calling him A Confusionist.
Not surprised they have decided to Strip him of his SAN status, good Riddance if you ask me. cool
