AYO. J
The Editor,
You shouldn’t have published the Story on Justice Ayo because religion is a personal thing. She did her rituals in accordance with her religious beliefs.
But that your story on Justice Ojikutu-Oshode is welcome. How can a judge condescend to the level of slapping a lawyer?
It is highly untoward. No judge could dare do that to me. Only weak and lily-livered lawyers can be so assaulted.

BISI ADE-ADEMUWAGUN
The Editor,
That lawyer detained by another lawyer must be a weakling; if he was strong he wouldn’t have stayed for so long in detention.

BISI ADE-ADEMUWAGUN
The Editor,
Are you sure of what you published about Bisi Ade-Ademuwagun getting a detention order against another lawyer by way of an ex-parte application? If it is true, then it is preferable that the Ikeja Branch of the NBA be shut down?
I said this because Ademuwagun was once the Chairman of the Ikeja Branch! How can some one who is a bar leader do any such thing? And to think that he is a Doctor of Divinity?
That means he has a Phd in Bible Studies and he himself is a pastor. So is he saying that all the four days, the other lawyer was languishing in detention, his {Ademuwagun’s} conscience and Bible did not tell him that his colleague was in such a condition at his instance?

Editor’s Note: - Over to you Dr Bisi Ade-Ademuwagun.

BISI ADE-ADEMUWAGUN
The Editor,
In detaining another person via an ex-parte injunction Bisi Ade-Ademuwagun acted very badly. Where is such done a person’s liberty to be cut without he being heard?
Yet Ademuwagun is a bar leader!

Editor’s Note: - Over to you, Dr Ade-Ademuwagun

BISI ADE-ADEMUWAGUN
The Editor,
I have read the latest Squib edition {Vol. 8 No.10}. I must express my disappointment in Bisi Ade-Ademuwagun for the auties of his chambers. Applying ex-parte in a fundamental right suit for the arrest of another person who is not even a party, is indefensible. Of course it is also indefensible to use a fundamental right action to ask for possession of land.
Ademuwagun’s conduct in the case is simply unbecoming particularly so since he is a past chairman of a branch of the NBA.

Editor’s Note: - Speak on!

SQUIB
The Editor,
There is a Magistrate {name withheld} who has just been posted recently to the Magistrate Court Ebute- Metta. He is not only garrulous, vain glorious abusive but also very corrupt.
He does not approve sureties unless ‘Kola’ as given to him. Ironically the same court used to be known as a decent one when it was presided over by the immediate predecessor of this new horrible Magistrate Squib, please go and investigate and you’ll find out I am not exaggerating in my claims against the corrupt magistrate.

Editor’s Note:- Trust us to dig. But supply more dines. Please.

SQUIB
The Editor,
The Squib is one of its kind. It is unique. I have never seen any publication anywhere like it. But I really want to know whether you are in active legal practice, I mean do you appear before judges? Considering your constant ruffling of feathers in the judiciary, it is easy to guess that they {judges} will gang-up to victimize you.

Editor’s Note:- I can’t complain about victimization from judges because it simply does not exist.

SQUIB
The Editor,
I always hear people say Chief Gani Fawehinmi is a hard, a tough cookie, but take it from me, you are harder than the Chief. We see your Squib, it’s tough and we see you on the television. You are hard!

Editor’s Note:- ‘Haba!’

Prof’s Comment
Complaint against Kembi

BISI ADE-ADEMUWAGUN
The Editor,
I am not surprised and am sure many others will not be. Bisi is very well-known for This kind of practice. Before the new rules, he was an expert in obtaining exparte orders on Writ of Summons without Statement of Claim. He thereafter would go lo sleep for years or may not follow up the case.
My client was once a victim in on oh Bisi's cases. Princess Jegede vs Unknown Persons. I Ie did all he could lo ensure that we did not join the suit by not complying with the new rules. It was before Justice Phillips and later transferred to the court of the late Justice Asiyanbi who eventually struck out the matter after over five adjournments. The parties, including the Claimant -Bisi's client, were never represented before the late Justice Asiyanbi.
My client filed a fresh suit which has not seen the light of the day due to transfer of Judges in the last one year.
It is time lo examine Bisi's sense of justice if he has one. I am sure all the facts would not have been presented to Justice Marsh. The whole purpose of FHR proceedings has been defeated. In some jurisdictions, the lawyer would lose his license to practice. Big shame.
