NBA President, Expresses His Heartfelt Condolence To The Family Of Rivers Attorney General, E.C Aguma, SAN

ADIEU EMMANUEL CHINWENWO AGUMA, SAN . The news of the demise of one of our reverred bar leaders from NBA Portharcourt Branch, Emmanuel Chinwenwo Aguma, SAN was received with great shock by the Nigerian Bar Association and entire Legal Community in the afternoon of Friday 10th August 2018 when it was reported that he died at a hospital in London, England after a brief illness. Late E. C Aguma SAN as he was fondly addressed, was until his death, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of Rivers State. His service to the bar over the years had been highly commendable having held various positions including Secretary of NBA Port Harcourt Branch (2000 – 2002), Chairman NBA Port Harcourt Branch (2006-2008), a member of the NBA National Executive Committee, a prosecutor on behalf of the NBA at the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee. The late Emmanuel Aguma SAN, an astute lawyer, very versatile and indeed a complete bar man was conferred with the prestigious rank of the Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 2015. He created a lasting impression on any one that came across him owing to his warmly reception to all and a key promoter of the need for discipline and sanctity within the profession. It is indeed a monumental loss to Nigerian Legal profession and young legal practitioners who look up to him for guidance and mentoring. The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, A.B Mahmoud, SAN expresses his heartfelt condolences to his wife Hon.(Mrs.) Ifenyinwa Aguma, entire members of Aguma family home and abroad, members of NBA Port Harcourt branch and the people and government of Rivers State of Nigeria and entire members of the NBA on the loss of a husband, father, uncle, colleague and undoubtedly one of the brilliant minds and shinning stars of the legal profession. It is our prayer that God grants his family, members of the NBA and Rivers State Government the fortitude to bear the loss. May his soul Rest in Peace. Adieu E.C. Aguma SAN.
