A group, Rule of Law And Accountability Advocacy Centre has petitioned the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee on behalf of a former Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Abuja, Ezenwa Anumnu, who was falsely accused of attempted murder by another legal practitioner, Magaji Mahmud.
According to Anumnu, after the threat by Mahmud, the police stormed his office on Monday to arrest him on trumped-up charges of attempted murder. The group also appealed to the committee to look into the actions of the Senior Advocate, Mahmud 'with a view to ascertaining if it is in line with the prescribed code of behaviour and mete out necessary sanctions'.
“That the said Magaji Mahmud further threatened to arrest him and instigated a false petition against him by one Zhou Junpeng, a Chinese national who alleged that he attacked him. “That as Hauwa Shekarau continued to share this falsehood publicly and was confronted with the veracity of the allegation and why she has not bothered to challenge the said Ezenwa Anumnu with such allegation since Ezenwa Anumnu is well known to her and members of the Bar, she responded that her information was credibly obtained from Magaji Mahmud . She further claimed that it is contained in a petition to NBA made by Magaji Mahmud SAN and which she was copied.
