Distinguished Colleagues,
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), led by President Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, has directed NBA branches to closely monitor the trials of #EndBadGovernance protesters. In a significant move, the NBA President has also launched a pro bono legal support initiative for protesters who lack legal representation.
The President has tasked the Nigerian Bar Association Citizens’ Liberties Committee (NBA-CLC) with working in close coordination with the Chairmen and Human Rights Committees of NBA branches in the regions where protesters are currently being prosecuted to ensure that no defendant suffers injustice during these trials.
The NBA legal team actively monitors court proceedings to ensure that trials are conducted with strict adherence to due process and safeguard the legal rights of all defendants. The Association is committed to upholding the rule of law, protecting defendants’ human rights, and ensuring that justice is served.
Thank you.
Bridget Ijeoma Edokwe, Esq.
National Publicity Secretary
