We recently concluded an in-house training on Electoral Reforms and the evolving expectations of legal practitioners in the lead-up to, and aftermath of, the 2027 election cycle. The session was designed to equip our lawyers with a clear and practical understanding of the Electoral Act 2026 and its implications for electoral litigation.

Led by Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, former Director of Voter Education at the Independent National Electoral Commission and former Attorney General of Edo State, the training provided a rigorous examination of the legislative changes, the policy considerations underpinning them, and the shifting contours of election dispute resolution. Particular attention was given to emerging jurisprudential trends, evidentiary thresholds, and the increasingly technical nature of election petitions.

The session also offered a forward-looking perspective on the responsibilities of legal practitioners within Nigeria’s electoral framework, emphasizing precision in pleadings, disciplined evidentiary presentation, and a nuanced appreciation of the intersection between statutory reforms and constitutional principles.

More than a knowledge session, this engagement reflects our continuing commitment to staying ahead of regulatory developments and ensuring that our clients benefit from advice that is both current and deeply grounded in practice.

We are pleased to announce our successful representation of First Bank Nigeria Limited in a high-stakes and contentious garnishee proceeding in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/2428/2025 – NIMEX Petrochemicals Ltd & Anor v. Conoil Plc before the Federal High Court, Abuja Division.

The matter involved a substantial claim of $8,488,752.88 (Eight Million, Four Hundred and Eighty Eight Thousand, Seven Hundred and Fifty Two Thousand Dollars, Eighty Eight Cents) with significant implications for banking operations and garnishee jurisprudence in Nigeria.

In a decisive ruling, the Court upheld the compelling submissions of our Managing Partner, Michael Jonathan Numa, SAN, affirming that an overdraft facility constitutes a debit position and therefore does not qualify as funds available for garnishment. The Court further reiterated the settled legal principle that garnishee proceedings apply strictly to monies standing to the credit of a judgment debtor, not debit balances.

A bold and controversial decision by the Confederation of African Football has sparked serious legal debate. Can a completed match truly be overturned weeks later? And does CAF have the authority to retrospectively disqualify Senegal after the referee had already validated play?

This article dives deep into the legal framework of football governance- examining regulatory authority, referee jurisdiction, and the fine line between match violations and administrative intervention. The implications could redefine how “final” a final really is.

Read the full legal breakdown and uncover the implications.

Nigeria’s financial system is entering a stricter, more secure era. With new directives from the Central Bank of Nigeria, BVN phone number changes face permanent restrictions, while instant payment platforms must now adopt tighter security measures like device binding and transaction limits.

These updates are a direct response to rising digital fraud- targeting SIM swaps, social engineering, and unauthorized access. For banks, fintechs, and PSPs, compliance isn’t optional, it’s critical.

Dive into the full breakdown and what it means for you.

We are pleased to share a recent publication by our Senior Associate, Emmanuel Sogo, examining a critical development in Nigerian appellate jurisprudence.

The article provides a detailed analysis of the Supreme Court’s decision in FRN v. Gidado & Ors, which has brought much-needed clarity to the long-standing controversy surrounding appeals on mixed law and facts.

For years, uncertainty persisted following the 2010 constitutional amendment, with conflicting judicial interpretations creating significant practical challenges for litigants and counsel. This decision marks a turning point, reaffirming the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction and its inherent appellate powers.

The publication highlights not only the Court’s legal reasoning but also the broader implications for litigation strategy, appellate practice, and access to justice in Nigeria.

We invite you to read the full article and explore its insights on this important issue.
