THE EDITOR’S SPARK
Hi friends,
Most likely this morning (Monday 22nd September 2008) one Mr. Sampson Abimbola Bamgbose will face a court of law, for among other things, unlawfully practicing the legal profession in Nigeria. The man is not your rum of the mill impostors. For 19 years, Bamgbose has been at his trade, fooling everybody as it were, until nemesis eventually caught up with him.
The story of this clever rogue whose last bus stop is Ikorodu, Lagos makes our cover. It is a story that indicates that there may be many other Bamgboses, even in the upper exhelon of the profession. So cleverly did this fraudster ingrained himself in the profession that the possibility of having even fake judges in our country exist.
The leadership of the Ikorodu Bar which unmasked Bamgbose paid a courtesy visit to the head of the Lagos State Judiciary, His Lordship, the Chief Judge, Adetula Alabi J. in his office on the 18th of September 2008. That visit makes up our Bar & Bench News section of this edition. All your ‘Sweet Regulars’ but two- the Book Excerpts and Art Quake are in the house, talking of the Learned Squib, Squib Society, Art Attack, Monitor, Readers Pavilion, Case-law and Diary. They all are as usual simply ‘squibicious’.
Well, until when next the parliament opens, do not take it easy. Do not take your songs to the grave unsung. Give life your best shots. The Heavens will not fall!
