Nigerian non-litigation lawyers have filed lawsuits against the Supreme Court chief registrar's Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) petition. The plaintiffs, under the Incorporated Trustees of Association of Legislative Drafting Practitioners (ALDRAP), are challenging a petition filed by Chief Registrar Mr. Kabir Akanbi.
The suit, numbered NICN/ABJ/363/2026, seeks to declare the LPDC's decision unconstitutional and orders for substituted service. The plaintiffs argue that the petition violates constitutional sections and LPDC rules, constituting double jeopardy and bias due to Akanbi's position. They also request an injunction to prevent the LPDC from entertaining future petitions against the plaintiffs and Akanbi's future involvement in Blue Silks rank cases.
