The petition/complaint which is dated the 11th of November, 2020, and made available to ‘TheNigeriaLawyers’ boarders majorly on the event surrounding the criminal complaint initiated by Mr. Okeke.

He alleged that Mr. Okeke has acted in unprofessional respect by filing the criminal complaint, referring to Rule 1 of the Rules of Professional Conduct(RPC).

Mr. Adeyanju who based his petition on Rules 1, 39(2), 47(1), 55 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, which borders on unbecoming actions of Legal Practitioners, Advertisement, Frivolous litigation, and punishment respectively; is asking the LPDC to investigate the issue in question and recommend Mr. Okeke for prosecution for unethical behavior.
