... threatens to write CJN, Supreme court, others over Ojoge



A professional group, Dignity in Labour (DL) on during the weekend urged the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) to sanction a controversial lawyer, Bar Wale Ojoge Daniel, and his wife, Bola Ojoge Daniel for conspiring to dupe people after Ojoge was strip of his wig and gown last year.

Citing some of the atrocities commited by Ojoge, the group said while on suspension, Ojoge stamped some documents in the name of his wife and signed it himself which is against the ethics of the profession.



DL, which it's members are drawn from all professional organisations in Nigeria, cited many fraudulent cases levelled against the couple as evidence to punish them.



The group in a statement signed by its national president, Adeola Ayinde and the secretary, Abubakar Dogara on Saturday alleged that the story going round that Ojoge & Ojoge chambers collected a contract from several organisations before NBA returned their wigs and gowns last year, noted that it is a punishable offence to do such.



According to the group, plans are in top gear to report Ojoge and few others to the chief Judge of Nigeria, Supreme court of Nigeria, Chief judge in their respective states and corporate organisations.



The statement reads; "having observe activities of Ojoge chambers in recent times, we have resolved to take him and others up on their gross misconduct. We have on our records, how Ojoge and his wife deceived many people to take contract from them, even when serving the punishment of the NBA.



"We are calling on the NBA and other organizations to ensure Ojoge and his wife are severely punished for the atrocities they have committed. We are compiling names of those who have erred against their professions across the country and recommend them for punishment.



"There must be sanity in Nigeria. We cannot continue to do the business as usual. We have a strong believe that Nigeria shall be great again and somebody like Ojoge Daniel who believes in fraud has to be rehabilitated," he said.
