With the declaration of a High Court Justice in Enugu that membership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) is mandatory for all legal practitioners and automatic upon call to Bar and/or on commencement and/or continuance of the practice of the Legal profession in Nigeria, the NBA Abuja branch (Unity Bar) has called for the deregistration of Law Society of Nigeria (LSN).
The branch at its November meeting passed a unanimous resolution condemning the activities of the LSN led by a leading insolvency practitioner, Mr. Kunle Ogunba (SAN) adding that the move by some members of the NBA to create a division within the Bar is unacceptable and should be condemned by all.
While passing a vote of confidence on the leadership of the Bar under Y. C. Maikyau (SAN), the branch called on the leadership of NBA National to write the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) requesting it to deregister LSN.
The motion was moved by Chinedu Obienu (Past Secretary of the Branch) and seconded by Moses A. Ebute (SAN) (immediate Past Chairman of the branch).
Chief Emeka Obegolu (SAN) and Abdul Mohammed (SAN) also made contributions in support of the motion.
