WED SEPT 04 2024-theGBJournal|President, Nigeria Bar Association and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Afam Josiah Osigwe, has directed the branches of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to monitor the trials of the #EndBadGovernance protesters.
Additionally, the NBA President has launched a Pro Bono support initiative for the #EndBadGovernance protesters who lack legal representation.
The Nigerian Bar Association Citizens’ Liberties Committee (NBA-CLC) has been tasked with liaising closely with the Chairmen and Human Rights Committees of NBA branches in regions where protesters are currently being prosecuted.
This ensures that no defendant suffers injustice.
Osigwe assured that the NBA legal team will continue to monitor court proceedings to ensure that trials are conducted with strict adherence to due process, safeguarding the legal rights of all defendants.
”The Nigerian Bar Association legal teams are in courts and will continue to monitor proceedings to ensure that the rule of law is upheld, the human rights of defendants are protected, and justice is served.” he said.
