15TH - 19TH OCTOBER 2012


Squib Diary

MONDAY 15TH OCTOBER 2012

Was at the Igbosere Magistrate Court. For a matter. Did not go on. Absent prosecutor, the cause. Had to sail back to the mainland to settle down at ‘The Lair’ Ikeja High Court.

 

TUESDAY 16TH OCTOBER 2012

At ‘The Lair’ today, after some hours in chambers.

 WEDNESDAY 17TH OCTOBER 2012

Was at the High Court Ikeja. For a case before Oyewole J. (variously being speculated about as the next Chief Judge of Osun State, come November 2012). Matter could not proceed. Milord, absent. Very unusual of him. Later went to Ibadan with some other Tigers to attend the Layi Babatunde SAN Inter-Faculties of Law Annual quiz competition and lecture at the Faculty of Law of the Premier University.

Guest lecturer was Dayo Akinlaja SAN the Attorney general and Commissioner for Justice, Ekiti State. The quiz was fun despite a fumbling quiz master. The winner of the quiz was, your guess is as good as mine: LASU (greatest of the greatest)!

 
THURSDAY 18TH OCTOBER 2012

Was in chambers, all morning till noon. As Acting 'Chair,' presided over Tiger Bar ‘Exco’ meeting. Smooth, snappy affair. Some officers barely met the closing prayer.

 FRIDAY 19TH OCTOBER 2012

Early morning downpour. Yet had to go down to the island for two cases. One in the Magistrate Court. The other, High Court.

Criminal trial at the High Court went on. That of the magistrate court, stalled. Magistrate came very late. Reportedly went to sit for a promotional exam at Ikeja in the morning.

Ademola Adewale, Squib’s Professor of Law, the second longest running columnist of the Squib, held an open house at the Tiger Bar Centre; to mark his 26th years of the call to the Bar. Prof was called to the Bar on 18th October nineteen gbogboro yeepa!

The open house, geckos said was simple but sweet. Long live the Prof!
