Two Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), Abdulwahab Mohammed and Adeola Adedipe have been recommended by a Federal High Court in Abuja to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) for an inquiry and appropriate punishment on allegations of professional misconduct. Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State, is being sued by Mohammed and Adedipe for allegedly laundering N82 billion.
