NBA cautions lawyers against unverified attacks on judiciary

The President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olumide Akpata, yesterday warned lawyers in against discordant tunes in condemnation of attempts to desecrate the sanctity of the country’s judiciary. Akpata while condemning the recent sting operation by faceless security operatives on the residence of a Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Mary Peter- Odili, insisted that lawyers as ministers in the temple of justice must speak in one voice against any evil doing against the bench. He issued the warning at a special court session in honour of late Justice of the Court, Justice Samuel Chukwudumebi Oseji, held at the Supreme Court. Akpata said: “The cacophony of often discordant voices emanating from what ordinarily should be one Bar, on this same issue, has almost become comical and those to whom we purport to direct our umbrage may be forgiven for not taking us seriously.
