LPPC Suspends Mike Ozekhome from Senior Advocate of Nigeria Rank
The Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee (LPPC) has announced the suspension of Professor Mike Ozekhome, SAN, from the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria. The committee stated that the suspension remains in effect while disciplinary proceedings are being handled by its Disciplinary and Ethics Sub-Committee.
According to the LPPC, the measure is pending the final determination of these disciplinary proceedings as well as other related legal actions. The suspension specifically restricts the senior lawyer from utilizing the SAN rank during this period.
This administrative action by the LPPC comes as the legal professional faces scrutiny regarding his professional conduct and ethics. The committee's decision ensures that the rank is suspended until the internal review process is concluded.
