4TH WEEK APRIL, 2008 (21ST -25TH)

SQUIB DIARY

MON. 21ST APRIL 2008
The Squib’s out. Cover story – The NO - CAP-IN – COURT – RULE, TIME FOR A RETHINK? Did some hours in chambers. Was not in court at all today.

TUE. 22ND APRIL 2008
Flew to Abuja today. To face Disciplinary Committee of the Body of Benchers. Over the Sotuminu C.J petition. The same old petition. The complainant did not show up. As usual, since 2003. Story at:http://www.learnedsquib.blogspot.com

Later in the afternoon, left for Port- Harcourt.
Received well by my learned friend, Gbenga Ojo Esq. and his equally learned wife. Will remember for a long time, madam’s pounded yam and goat meat infested rich egusi soup dinner! Mmmmmm!

Gani – Chief Gani Fawehinmi S.A.N clocked 70 years today.
The old man, couldn’t come for the celebrations in Lagos. Was in far away London, battling cancer (of the lung). My heart felt prayer is for a miracle cure for own very dear Gani.

WED. 23RD APRIL 2008
Visited the Federal High Court, Port – Harcourt and the State High Court. Both courts not too far away from each other. The High Court Complex is grander than the Federal Court.
Later moved to one or two places, not forgetting to partake of the bodies of two roasted plantains and some peppered fish. Yum, yum.
Came back to Lagos some hours later.

THUR. 24TH APRIL 2008
Was at the Ebute – Metta Magistrate Court. Later went to the Lagos High Court. Very neat court environment.

FRI. 25TH APRIL 2008
Spent hours on end at the SCID Panti (well known police station). All part of a day’s job; I guess?
