The reputation of Rickey Tarfa & Co. as a breeding ground for ferocious litigators was rekindled recently as three of the law firm’s former Senior Associates were conferred with the coveted rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria during the latest award exercise.
CITY LAWYER gathered that the achievement has thrown the entire law firm and its huge alumni community into frenzied celebration, with many adjudging the feat as unprecedented.
The awardees are Mr. Kola Olowookere SAN, Mr. Tochukwu P. Tochukwu SAN and Mr. Aondo Terkaa SAN.
CITY LAWYER also gathered that the trio worked in the Abuja Office of the leading litigation-centric law firm before joining its close-knit alumni community.
Aside from its founder, Mr. Rickey Tarfa SAN, who is adjudged as perhaps Nigeria’s foremost criminal defence lawyer, the law firm boasts of no less than seven current and former staff who have also been conferred with the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
These include the affable but now deceased former Head of Chambers and two-time Ogun State Commissioner, Mr. John Olusegun Odubela SAN; Mr. Olusegun Jolaawo, SAN; Mr. Andrew Malgwi, SAN; Mr. Mustapha Ibrahim, SAN; Mr. Kola Olowookere, SAN; Mr. Aondo Terkaa, SAN and Mr. Tochukwu P. Tochukwu, SAN.
