Angry presiding justice exposes female lawyer who brought client to his house

Barrister B.C. Awang had no idea what  she was getting into when she led her client to the house of Hon. Justice G. M Kamyal of High Court 9 in West of Mines Jos, Plateau State, Monday night—for a case her client had for the following day.

Justice Kamyal turned out to be a nightmare for a corrupt lawyer.

While narrating in open court Awang attempted to solicit his favour in a matter with suit No. PLD/J602/2021 between Gabriel Sunday Badung and 20 others (complainants) and Comr Samson Makims and others (Defendants), the judge said he was surprised to see the counsel make such move.

Awang and others were announcing appearance for continuation of hearing on Tuesday when the judge exploded.

“I wish to inform the Counsel and parties in Court that yesterday night between 7 and  8, one Barrister B.C. Awang (Mrs) came to my house along with one of the claimants in this case to see me in respect of the case.

“They came along with a gift for me. I was seriously disturbed by the said unsolicited visit. I asked why would they paid such a visit on me base on a case before me.

“According to the said Barrister B.C. Awang, the visit was in respect of a Motion Exparte pending before me. This visit was uncalled for, unprofessional of a counsel and I felt it was an attempt to solicit favour(s) from me.

“I am deeply annoyed by the said visit and this has affected my mind frame with regards to handling this matter. I have said this in the open Court and I am returning the case file to the Hon the Ag Chief Judge of the State for him to Re-assign the case to another Judge for trial.

“This is to ensure that my anger over the visit to my house will undermine the trial of this case. Accordingly, I hereby return the case file as stated above and same is to be forwarded forward with by the Registrar of this Court for further directives of the Hon. Ag Chief Judge.”
