Ogunba made a huge scene by accusing the judge of nodding his head while listening to the oral argument of counsel to Honeywell. This angered other senior members of the bar in the courtroom. In fact, two senior lawyers, Wahab Shittu and Dr. George Olushola Ogunyomi, stood up to address the court and both of them expressed displeasure at Ogunba’s attempt to ridicule the bench. The senior lawyers insisted that that Ogunba’s conduct undermined the court, was disrespectful to the bench and totally unethical as junior lawyers and Student’s from the Law School were in court to witness the embarrassing scene. Both senior lawyers apologized on behalf of the bar and advised Ogunba to apologise to Justice Dagat. Ogunba failed to apologise and lawyers threatened to stage a walkout unless he did so. The situation was however brought under control. Today Ogunba sought to move a motion to advertise the petition against Honeywell Group by bringing other processes in support of the motion. This move was opposed by lawyers to Honeywell and the court later struck Ecobank’s application. Honeywell had succeeded in moving both the court of Appeal and Justice Yunusa to vacate the exparte Orders earlier granted by Justice Yunusa. Dagat was transferred to the Federal High Court, Lagos, and he inherited the cases from Justice Yunusa. Justice Dagat has now adjourned to 26thSeptember for ruling on all applications that were argued by both counsels in court today.]]>
