A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory has struck out a suit filed by Abuja-based lawyer Chidinma Udebuani, seeking to remove former Chairman of the Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN, from office. Justice Anthony Ebong, who struck out the suit, held that the issue in dispute had already been overtaken by events, as Olanipekun had completed his term. He also noted that the plaintiff and her counsel had abandoned the case.

However, in her originating summons, Chidinma asked the Court to address several questions, including: Whether the contents of the email sent by the 3rd defendant to SAIPEM Construction Nigeria Limited, on behalf of the 2nd defendant's law firm, constituted a confessional statement under Section 27 of the Evidence Act 2011.
