The Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee (LPPC) has suspended Mike Ozekhome’s status as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). The suspension is pending the outcome of disciplinary proceedings against the constitutional lawyer, though the specific reasons for the investigation have not been publicly detailed. This action effectively restricts Ozekhome’s privileges and standing within the Nigerian legal community during the inquiry. The LPPC, responsible for awarding and regulating the SAN rank, did not immediately release further information regarding the allegations. Ozekhome is a well-known figure in Nigerian law, frequently involved in high-profile cases and known for his advocacy. The suspension raises questions about the nature of the disciplinary action and its potential impact on Ozekhome’s practice. Further details are expected as the LPPC’s investigation progresses.
