Ilorin NBA In Crisis Over Plot To Impeach Chairman
Crisis has engulfed the Ilorin branch of the Nigeria Bar Association as some members of the association have signed a notice seeking to remove their chairman, Mr. Mobolaji Ojibara from office.
But Ojibara has dismissed the move, saying it was an attempt to avoid the probe of the previous executive council of the union led by Mr. Rafiu Balogun.
He blamed the development on the immediate past leadership of the branch headed by Balogun whom he claimed had allegedly refused to submit to the rule of accountability enshrined within the books of the association.
He claimed not to have been served the notice as at the time of filing this report.
However, the notice of impeachment indicated that the move is sponsored by 16 members of the association and was seconded by 18 other members
The aggrieved members are seeking to remove the chairman from office within two weeks on two grounds; alleged professional misconduct and alleged abuse of office.
The NBA members alleged that Ojibara issued a dud cheque of N300, 000 to Dr. J.O. Olatoke (SAN) and also replaced the name of Balogun who is allegedly a statutory delegate to the 2014 NBA national elections with that of Mr. Salman Jawondo.
Other allegations include that Ojibara used funds meant for the association to buy bags of rice for his friends and also sponsored the funeral ceremony of the association’s Vice Chairman without due clearance from the association.
They further alleged that Ojibara redeemed the sum of N3 million from pledges made at a recent NBA function without disclosing same to the executive council or congress of the association.
