Our media desk received a press release by Otu Oka-iwu Abuja President, on various security challenges and national Concern issues follows: DETENTION, TRIALS, AND DISOBEDIENCE TO COURT ORDERS Recently, the news about the incarceration of Pius Awoke, Esq, became a media frency and saturated social media, particularly in the legal cycle.  Firstly, Otu Oka-iwu wants to appreciate the lawyers who made the sad situation of Awoke known and  those who persistently called for the intervention of NBA.  We appreciate the President of the Nigerian Bar Association for his intervention in ensuring that Awoke and his cousin were released from the DSS.  Now, despite that our brother has been released, one unfortunate issue that needs to be addressed is the fact that he was arrested and detained since 2021.

THE EMERGENCE OF OLUMIDE AKPATA IN MY LIFETIME BRINGS HOPE - HARIAT BALOGUN (LIFE BENCHER).

Ochili Michael
In my almost 60 years of law practice in Nigeria, I have witnessed different types of leaders of the Nigerian Bar Association (‘NBA’). I have also been privileged to watch our profession rise and unfortunately, I have also seen its decline. However, I have always kept hope alive that a time will come, possibly in my lifetime, when the institutional shortcomings that culminated in our present situation would be redressed by the right kind of leadership at the NBA. *The emergence of Olumide Akpata as a frontline candidate for the NBA presidency suddenly brings that hope to bear*. In Olumide Akpata, I see the hope for the required reforms. In him, I see the chance for a compassionate and competent NBA leadership. In Olumide Akpata, I believe hope for redemption of our profession is not far-fetched. I have decided to pitch my tent where the future lies, and I dare say that the advent of that future is now! *To this end, I encourage all lawyers regardless of your posturing (inne...
