Conducts that will be sufficient to ground removal of a trustee
"Conduct which is detrimental to the execution of the trust, and whether misconduct or maladministration has been proved against a trustee may range from criminal conduct to mere moral turpitude -See Letterstedt v. Brooers (1884) 9 App. Cas. 371, 386. The conduct may not constitute an actual breach of trust, yet it could be sufficient to ground his removal -See Moore v. MGlynn (1894) 1 I. R. 74. Misconduct need not amount to dishonesty or criminal conduct to ground removal." HON. JUSTICE ADENEKAN ADEMOLA & ANOR. V. CHIEF HAROLD SODIPO & ORS.(1992) LPELR-122(SC)Per KARIBI WHYTE, J.S.C. (Pp.64-65, paras. G-B)
