The Society of Public Interest Lawyers in Nigeria (SPI-LAW) has petitioned the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) of the Body of Benchers to initiate disciplinary proceedings against former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN. The petition, filed in Abuja on September 28, 2026 and registered as BBLPDC/2196/2026, arises from findings contained in an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration over the Mambilla Power Project dispute. SPI-LAW asked the LPDC to investigate allegations of professional misconduct and infamous conduct in a professional respect against the former attorney-general. The petition was filed through lawyers including Olukunle O. Edun, SAN, John Aikpokpo-Martins and Olajide A. Abiodun, with supporting affidavits deposed to by Aikpokpo-Martins, President of SPI-LAW, and Edun, its Vice President.
