NBA To Prosecute Lawyers Guilty Of Conference Vandalism

The Nigerian Bar Association has disclosed that it will prosecute lawyers found guilty of vandalising conference booths resulting in theft of phones and assault on officials.

The NBA President Olumide Akpata stated this on Thursday during the Annual General Meeting of the NBA holding at the Eko Atlantic City, Lagos.

Akpata said that any lawyer found complicit in vandalisation of conference booths, theft of phones, and assault on officials would be prosecuted.

Speaking at the AGM, Akpata gave a vivid explanation of circumstances surrounding the delayed distribution which was all in a bid to give lawyers the best conference experience.

The president explained that some aggrieved lawyers who did not get their conference materials on time had stormed the collection centre and looted the booth.

“No one said we will not encounter difficulties in life but the hall mark is how quickly do we resolve such difficulties.

“I hereby assured the generality of Nigerian legal practitioners that any lawyer found complicit in vandalisation of conference booths, theft of phones, assault on officials will be prosecuted."
