Olumide Akpata who is the outgoing President of the Nigeria Bar Association during the ongoing NBA Annual General Conference issued a strong warning to lawyers who are found guilty of the vandalisation of conference booths, theft of phones, and assault on officials.
Akpata stated this on Thursday, that erring lawyers will be prosecuted. Explaining further what caused the delayed distribution of conference bags during the event.
“No one said we will not encounter difficulties in life but the hallmark is how quickly do we resolve such difficulties.
“Gentlemen of the Bar, I thank you so much. It can only get better”, he said.
In a viral video on Wednesday, lawyers were seen destroying conference booths and looting conference materials on Tuesday night.
Lawyers attending the ongoing 62nd Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association had on Tuesday protested the inadequate supply of conference materials, as some of them could not get the conference bag.
Some of the Lawyers complained of the shortage of the conference materials despite the fact that they come for accreditation frequently which led to the frustration of many of the delegates. The distribution process was slow against the large number of lawyers on the queue waiting for their bags.
However, as the distribution continues, lawyers became impatient therefore leading a charge that the bouncers couldn’t hold off. The accreditation center became overcrowded and was destroyed and vandalised with lawyers looting and carting away Conference materials.
The Lawyers and Delegates at the NBA-AGC went berserk over the distribution of conference bags, destroying registration booths and looting other Conference materials.
