The law firm of Ubani & Co. has condemned the unauthorised leak of a private phone conversation involving its principal partner, Dr. Monday Ubani, SAN, on social media.
The firm’s response follows uncomplimentary remarks made about one of Ubani’s clients in an episode of the Honest Bunch podcast. In reaction, Ubani contacted the host to seek clarification and demand an apology.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the firm emphasized that while there was nothing improper in the leaked conversation, it was strictly private and should never have been made public.
It clarified that Dr. Ubani, a highly respected legal professional, would never intentionally allow his private discussions to be disseminated online. The firm also stressed that he does not, as a matter of policy, record conversations with third parties, opting instead to document matters in writing for clarity and accountability.
The statement read: “Our principal partner, Dr. Monday Ubani, SAN, is a distinguished member of the Bar, known for his diligence and professionalism in handling legal matters.
“While he is a notable public figure, he has never been in the habit of discussing or sharing his legal practice on social media.
“We strongly condemn the unauthorised leak of his private phone conversation and call on those responsible to take it down.”
