Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Joe-Kyari Gadzama, has challenged the decision of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) suspending him from legal practice for three years, saying he has commenced steps to appeal the ruling at the Supreme Court. While Gadzama was suspended for three years, Ulegede received a two-year suspension. Gadzama maintained that he holds the institutions regulating the legal profession in high esteem but disagreed with the committee’s conclusions. The senior lawyer expressed confidence that the Supreme Court would objectively review both the legal and factual issues raised in the appeal. BB/LPDC/1314/2024 filed by Chris Alashi against Gadzama and Ulegede over their involvement in the legal representation of victims of the 2001 Zaki Biam massacre.
