Comandclem`s BOD Members Resisted The Activities Of Intruders To Elongate And Disrupt Appeal In The Supreme Court Of Nigeria.




Comandclem`s BOD Members Resisted
The Activities Of Intruders To Elongate And Disrupt
 Appeal In The Supreme Court Of Nigeria.

(1)    The Board Of Directors (BOD) in Comandclem Nigeria Limited has resisted the activities of some intruders (enemies of patentees) to elongate and disrupt the ongoing appeal against Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited in the Supreme Court Of Nigeria.

(2)   Pieces of information at my disposal show that there were unreasonable agitations and unjustifiable pressures emanating from some intruders (enemies of patentees) on the Board Members in Comandclem Nigeria Limited to hire the services of a legal academician, Professor Bankole Sodipo to suspend the professional services of the CCNL`s famous leading legal Counsel, Aiku Babatude (SAN) in the case against Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited ongoing in the Supreme Court Of Nigeria.


(3)   It is on record that this legal academician, Professor Bankole Sodipo, is a legal counsel of a party sought to be joined (Oyewo Muideen Adekunle-a fake Patentee from Kwara State), who requested the Honourable Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria
(i) to make him (Oyewo Muideen Adekunle) a second inventor after  the first & true inventor, King Professor CJA Uwemedimo,
(ii) to elongate the appeal of CCNL for additional 90 days,
(iii) to make him (Oyewo Muideen Adekunle) the representative of all the CCNL Patentees

(4)   In a letter written by the BOD in CCNL, copied The Registrar, Litigation Of The Supreme Court Of Nigeria, dated 22nd of January, 2015, addressed to this legal academician, Professor Bankole Sodipo, he was advised in his interest not to appear for CCNL in any court in view of the conflict of interest involved.

(5)   The question is,
“Can a lawyer who represents a party (a party sought to be joined) in a legal suit also be a lawyer that will represent the opposing party (appellants) in the same suit pending before the Supreme Court of Nigeria in view of Rule 10 (b) of the Legal Practitioners Act, Chapter 207, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria?”

Note: Rule 10 (b) of the Legal Practitioners Act, Chapter 207, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria states as follows.

10.    Adverse Influences And Conflicting Interests
(b)   “ It is unprofessional conduct to represent conflicting interests, except by express consent of all concerned given after a full disclosure of the facts. Within the meaning of this rule, a lawyer represents conflicting interests when in respect of one client of whom he presently contends the interests of that client touch or concern confidences of another client to whom the lawyer at the same time, owes a duty of service.”

(6)   On behalf of the CCNL`s Patentees, we appreciate the committed efforts of the CCNL`s BOD Members to resist the activities of intruders (enemies of patentees).

(7)   A letter to the legal academician, Professor Bankole Sodipo, is hereby attached.
