The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has directed its branches to monitor the trials of protesters arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protests.
The association has also launched a Pro Bono support initiative to provide legal representation to protesters who cannot afford it.
NBA President, Afam Osigwe, SAN on Wednesday via X tasked the Nigerian Bar Association Citizens’ Liberties Committee (NBA-CLC) with liaising with branch chairmen and human rights committees to ensure that defendants receive fair trials.
The NBA legal team will monitor court proceedings to ensure strict adherence to due process and safeguard the legal rights of all defendants. The association aims to uphold the rule of law, protect human rights, and ensure justice is served.
This move demonstrates the NBA’s commitment to protecting the rights of citizens and ensuring that the legal system is fair and just.
