A tussle over legal representation between a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Joe Gadzama and a lawyer, Mr Onyechi Egwuonwu, at the Supreme Court has

stalled the hearing of $15 billion Petro Union Oil And Gas Company Limited case against the Central Bank of Nigeria and others.

Other respondents in the matter are Union Bank, minister for finance and the attorney-general of the federation. While Egwuonwu argued that he brought Gadzama into the matter when the case began at the high court, Gadzama on his part disagreed with the submission. Onyechi Egwuonwu, Petro Union’s lawyer at the Federal High Court where the $15 billion judgment against CBN and others was given, informed the apex court of his irrevocable power of attorney to represent the company in the matter, explaining that it was he who in fact briefed Gadzama to lead him and other lawyers when the case got to the Court of Appeal.
