The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has formally objected to the elevation of Lagos-based lawyer, Agba Eimunjeze, Esq., to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), citing an ongoing 50-count criminal charge against him bordering on fraud, unlawful conversion of landed property, and false claims of authority.
According to AMCON, Eimunjeze concealed the allegations from the Legal Practitioners' Privileges Committee (LPPC) when he applied for the prestigious rank.
In June 2026, the LPPC published a shortlist of applicants who had cleared the Advocates' 1st and 2nd Filtration Stages, Academic Pre-qualification, Independent Appeals Hearing, and Law Office Inspection Exercise, with only the final interview stage remaining.
That release, dated Tuesday, June 23, 2026, and signed by Kabir Eniola Akanbi, Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and Secretary of the LPPC, listed Eimunjeze at No. 57 among the "Advocate Applicants" category.
It explicitly cautioned that "the publication of the names of the shortlisted Applicants is not an indication of a successful application," and invited public objections, to be submitted with a verifying affidavit by 15th July 2026.
