A company, Nacenn Nigeria Limited, has explained why it dragged Prof Yemi Akinseye-George, SAN, before the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN/Chairman of Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee, LPPC, and the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA.
In a petition, the firm is alleging “professional misconduct, misrepresentation, and suppression of material facts.”
This is despite the pendency of a suit by the SAN at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, in which he is demanding N115million from the firm.
NACENN, in the October 8, 2020, petition sent separately to the CJN and the NBA, is urging them to investigate its complaints.
