The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) has suspended Mike Ozekhome from the rank of senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) pending the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings against him.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Kabir Akanbi, chief registrar of the supreme court, said the decision was taken at the committee’s 173rd general meeting held on June 23.
Ozekhome is standing trial alongside Ponfa Useni, son of the late Jeremiah Useni, a former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for allegedly using a fake Nigerian passport in a disputed property case in the United Kingdom (UK).
