SaharaReporters had earlier reported that AMCON, in its July 6 objection to the LPPC, alleged that Eimunjeze failed to disclose the criminal proceedings when he applied for the prestigious rank.
The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has withdrawn its petition challenging the elevation of Lagos-based lawyer, Agba Eimunjeze, Esq., to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), after previously alleging that he concealed an ongoing 50-count criminal charge against him from the Legal Practitioners' Privileges Committee (LPPC).
In a letter dated July 14, 2026, addressed to the Secretary of the LPPC at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, AMCON said it was withdrawing its entire petition and objection, alongside all supporting documents earlier filed by its external counsel, Muftau Tolani Musa.
AMCON urged the committee to disregard the withdrawn petition and determine Eimunjeze's application solely on its merits and in accordance with the established criteria for the conferment of the SAN rank.
The latest development is coming barely days after AMCON formally objected to Eimunjeze's elevation, citing an ongoing criminal case bordering on alleged fraud, unlawful conversion of landed property and false claims of authority.
