Ferdinard O. Orbih, SAN, the chairman of NBA Section on Legal Practice, constituted the Legal team led by S. I Ameh, SAN, intiated the legal battle against the Malami, SAN.
Other Learned Silks who are members of the legal team are Elisha Kurah, SAN, Oluwaseun Abimbola, SAN and M. E. Ukweni, SAN.
TheNigeriaLawyer recalls that sometime in September 2020, it was reported that the RPC had been amended by the AGF.
At the time of the purported amendment, the NBA took issue with the situation on the ground that the Attorney General could not, on his own, purport to amend the RPC as it was not within his power to do so but rather the responsibility of the General Council of the Bar.
