Senior Counsel PLO Lumumba on Tuesday penned a letter to Chief Justice Martha Koome concerning the ban imposed on Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi by the Supreme Court.
In the letter dated January 28, Lumumba urged CJ Koome to grant Ahmednasir an audience to defend himself, terming the decision to ban him and advocates from his firm from the Supreme Court an extreme and unusual punishment. "What should worry any Advocate regarding the manner in which Mr.
Ahmednasir Abdullahi SC and Associates of his law firm have been dealt with is that he is subjected to extreme and unusual punishment, the effect of which is to deny him the right of practice of Law which is his source of livelihood," part of the letter read. "Your Ladyship, if Mr Ahmednasir Abdullahi SC has committed any offence known to law, he should be cited and allowed to defend himself."
