A send-forth party would be held in honour of the outgoing chairman of the Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun, CFR, SAN.
The event which is to mark his one year tenure in the office as the chairman Body of Benchers, would hold on Thursday, 30th March, 2023.
The venue is at Halimatu Abdullahi Turaki Banquet Hall, Body of Benchers Complex, Plot 688, Institution and Research District, FCC Phase III, Abuja by 6:00pm.
The Retired Supreme Court Justice, Justice Mary Ego Odili, who is the current Body’s Vice Chairman will succeed Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN.
Recall that longing into Chief Wole Olanipekun’s emergence as BoB Chair, the Body and the NBA have been involved in a cold war following calls by some leaders within the Association for Olanipekun, SAN, to step down as Chairman following a ‘publicly perceived indictment’ on his person. An indictment tied to ‘Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Odein Ajumogobia SAN over an email from Ms. Adekunbi Ogunde, a Partner in Wole Olanipekun & Co, allegedly soliciting to take over a brief his law firm was handling from his client, SAIPEM SPA’.
