THE READERS’ PAVILION

ALADEJOBI
The Editor,
Just this morning, I saw Jide Aladejobi in court robed. When I challenged him after his appearance in court, he said that the order of disbarment on him by the body of benchers has been set aside. He told me that even though he told you about the new siutation, you refused to publish same in the Squib.
Editor’s Note: - If you are telling the truth, my response is this, “Aladejobi never told me anything.” But by the way we published his story nonetheless. I wonder why the lie.

DEAD SHERIFF
The Editor,
I want you to continue to give us an update about the case of the auxiliary sheriff who was murdered by the LASTMA staff. The man should not just die like that.
Editor’s Note: - We shall.

SQUIB
The Editor,
You are a king-maker in the Ikeja bar, when will you move up yourself?
Editor’s Note: - Where’s up?

DEAD SHERIFF
The Editor,
I know that man, the Judiciary Staff who was killed by LASTMA staff will just die in vain, the government or the judiciary will cover up the case. That’s why the killers have not been apprehended.
Editor’s Note: - Sad, really.

DISQUALIFICATION BLUES
The Editor,
You are one of those who worked hard for my disqualification from the race for the post of Publicity Secretary of the Ikeja bar, you and Dare Akande, but I have no hard feelings towards any one. And I concede that most of your reports about me was fair, except only when you wrongly indicated that my rival Lateef Abdusalam is my senior at the bar. He is actually my junior.
However I have accepted my disqualification in good faith, although I have written a protest letter to the Electoral Committee. If I give you a copy of the letter, will you publish it?
S.O Omodara
Editor’s Note: - Bring it.
