The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) said it had rescinded its move to confer the SAN rank on Mrs. Oluwatoyin Bashorun, who it earlier listed among those it considered to confer with the rank last year.
It said after considering a petition against Bashorun, it concluded that the senior lawyer had “conducted herself in a manner which is clearly in contravention of the provisions of paragraphs 18(2) (a) and (c) and 19 (a)(b) and (d) of the Guidelines for the conferment of the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria 2016.”
The body said it found that Bashorun “stayed and continue to stay in a rented property for nine years without paying rent.”
It said it barred Bashorun from applying for the SAN rank for three years but said she might be considered after three years “subject to good behaviour as assessed by the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee.”
