The Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee, LPDC, has ordered the removal of former Attorney General of Cross River, Joseph Abang, from the roll of legal practitioners in the country.
The legal body gave the order after it found that the former AG engaged in an “infamous conduct”.
It ordered that the Respondent should no longer enjoy the status of a legal practitioner or accorded audience in that capacity.
The decision against Abang followed a complaint that was lodged against him by the Incorporated Trustees of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA.
The NBA, in the complaint it entered before the LPDC on June 26, 2020, noted that Unity Bank Plc had engaged Abang as a lawyer to help it to recover a debt that was owed it by Bilwadams Construction Company Nigeria Limited.
