Recall that both Ahonaruogho and Emukpoeruo were conferred with the highest title in the legal profession in Nigeria by the legal practitioners privilege committee of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

TNG reports the rank of SAN was conferred on the duo in December 2020 when the chairman of ICPC, Bolaji Owasanoye and the former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Delta State, Peter Mrakpor were also conferred with SAN.

The committee had shortlisted a total of 137 candidates, both at advocate filtration stages and academic pre-qualification exercise, for the conferment of the coveted SAN rank. However, only 72 candidates, comprising 62 advocates and 10 in the academia, as against 30 in 2019, scaled through.
