The Nigerian Bar Association has resolved to embark on a two-day boycott of courts to protest the suspension of Nigeria’s Chief Justice, Walter Onnoghen.
The NBA arrived at the resolution at its National Executive Council meeting held on Monday.
“The Nigerian Bar Association rising from her NEC meeting has decided to embark on a two-day warning boycott of courts all over Nigeria over the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria by President Buhari,” the NBA said on Monday evening.
According to the association, the boycott of the courts starts on Tuesday and continues on Wednesday.
TheLagostimes recalls that Onnoghen is facing trial on alleged false asset charges at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
He was suspended from office by President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday based on a controversial order by the CCT.
