Adeola Adedipe, a senior advocate of Nigeria , has applied to withdraw his representation for Yahaya Bello, former Kogi governor.
Pinhero also prayed the court to punish the two senior lawyers representing the former governor, insisting that they have breached the rules of professional conduct.“My lord, our application is that since one of the lawyers is present in court, he should be moved to the dock and dealt with summarily. That is what the law says,” the EFCC lawyer said.
“Even a former president of the United States of America was docked. These senior lawyers have been helping the defendant to treat this court with scorn.“For five consecutive sittings, the defendant refused to make himself available for his trial and his lawyers have continued to use all forms of chicanery to frustrate his arraignment.
