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.
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)!
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.
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!
