The law firm of E. K. Omare & Co has issued a disclaimer to a story published in the August 20, 2026 edition of Daily Sun in which he was identified as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).
In the story, Court Halts Heritage Operations, Orders Cleanup of Uzere Oil Spill, it was stated that the suit was filed by E. K. Omare, SAN Chambers.
But in a rejoinder to Daily Sun, Dr. Eric Omare stated that “It is true that, the law firm of E. K. Omare & Co, where I am the Principal Counsel is representing the Plaintiff in Suit No. FHC/PH/CS/132/2026: HRM Udogiri 1, JP V. Heritage Energy Operational Services Limited & Anor wherein the said orders were made.”
He, however, affirmed that “it is legally wrong and against the ethics of the legal profession for me or the law firm to be addressed as E. K. Omare, SAN, Chambers.
“I have not been sworn-in as Senior Advocate of Nigeria, hence, I cannot be addressed as Senior Advocate of Nigeria, until all the conditions precedent are fulfilled and sworn-in by the Chief Justice of Nigeria.”
Omare further declared that in the light of the foregoing, “I wish to clearly disclaim my designation as Senior Advocate of Nigeria in the Sun Newspaper of August 20, 2026 or any other news report where I was so addressed.”
