was owed salary by an older lawyer, his former employer who had issued a cheque to the younger lawyer who went to the bank to cash it but he was told to return it to his former employer to sign to enable immediate access. The younger lawyer returns to the law firm of Oluyomi Olawure and an argument ensued. The older lawyer calls in the police to restore order. Police slapped the younger lawyer and in any event the older lawyer said in this report he did not authorize police assault he then signs the cheque to open it and I think it has been cashed by the younger lawyer.
Now Afam Osigwe took to Facebook to lampoon the Nigerian Bar Association NBA translated NBA President AB Mahmoud SAN and the national officers none of whom authorized the assault. Matter of fact since 2016 when he assumed office AB Mahmoud SAN did not assault a single lawyer unlike Alegeh-Afam Osigwe's regime. I could supply the names of lawyers assaulted 2014-16 by Messrs Alegeh and
Afam Osigwe some at NEC meetings. What Afam Osigwe ought to have done if he is keen in fighting public interest causes, he should have called both lawyers to find out what happened and if the younger one was being owed he should say to the older one please pay the gentleman ASAP and he could go a step further to inquire who authorized the assault and if the former employer didn't, you ought to file a fundamental rights enforcement procedure lawsuit
on behalf of the young Lawyer Gbenga and offer pro bono legal services.
That was how Gani Fawehinmi SAN would have fought. That is how Falana SAN Works. That is how Olisa Agbakoba SAN agitates. That is how Festus Keyamo SAN Ebun Adegboruwa just name any human rights lawyer would worry. Afam Model on any of these HR Lawyers and others and stop blaming NBA on this account.
Afam Osigwe's infantile tantrums on Facebook gets more ridiculous!
Thank you
