NBA to prosecute lawyers for theft, vandalism of conference centre
Outgoing Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President Mr Olumide Akpata on Thursday vowed that any lawyer found wanting in the vandalisation of conference booths, theft of phones, and assault on officials during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the NBA held at the Eko Atlantic City, Lagos will be prosecuted.
Some aggrieved lawyers who did not get their conference materials on time stormed the collection centre and looted the booth.

Speaking at the AGM, Akpata gave a vivid explanation of the circumstances surrounding the delayed distribution which was all in a bid to give lawyers the best conference experience.
He said: “No one said we will not encounter difficulties in life but the hallmark is how quickly do we resolve such difficulties.
“I hereby assured the generality of Nigerian legal practitioners that any lawyer found complicit in the vandalisation of conference booths, theft of phones, assault on officials will be prosecuted.”
