VOL 9 NO 36

RONKE HARRISON
The Editor,
I must congratulate you on the last edition of your magazine, the Squib. What a shocker that your relevation about Ronke Harrison was! That was investigative journalism at its best. Even your detractors would have to admit that your magazine is not as bad as portrayed. It is the Squib that has let all the whole world know that a lawyer like Ronke Harrison who sold her client’s property for about #120 million naira and could not refund same upon demand is being considered for a judicial post.
Of course I agree with your position in your previous edition (“SEX AND THE BENCH”) that there are by far too many women on the Lagos State Bench. That situation is, frankly speaking, bad. Why should male lawyers who work harder than women and who are more than them in active practice be put at a disadvantage when it comes to judicial appointments?
Editor’s Note: Why?

RONKE HARRISON
The Editor,
Well done for exposing the Ronke Harrison woman as unfit for the bench However the NBA (Lagos, Ikeja and Ikorodu Branches) should step into the matter by writing to the authorities about the un-suitability of Ronke Harrison on the bench, otherwise we all will wake up one day to see her there. And it will be too late then to do anything about her appointment.
Editor’s Note: You are right.!

RONKE HARRISON
The Editor,
But for the fact that you published the note, Ronke Harrison made in her own hand-writing, on her letter-head paper admitting that she still had money to repay back to the person when she wrongfully sold property to, I never would have believed your story about. She is otherwise a gentle and responsible counsel. I never could have believed she was capable of such misconduct.
Editor’s Note: And, so said so many other people.

RONKE HARRISON
The Editor,
I see some traces of “bad-belle” on the part of those who sponsored the Ronke Harrison story. Could it not be that the woman had finished refunding the money she collected from the wrongful sale of the house yet her enemies still went ahead against her, nonetheless?.
Editor’s Note: Even if she had finished refunding the money would that absolve her of wrong doing?

RONKE HARRISON
The Editor,
I must tell you that your edition with the cover “SEX AND THE BENCH” is still causing sensation all over the Ministry of Justice. People are accusing you of running down candidates from the ministry.
As for Ronke Harrison, I am perturbed about the allegation against her. She is my good sister, I wonder why she put her self in the race for judge-ship knowing she still has a big skeleton in her cupboard. She should have sorted herself out before applying for judge
Editor’s Note: Hmmmmmphh!
