EndBadGovernance: Osigwe directs NBA branches to monitor trials of arrested protesters

President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Afam Osigwe, has directed the branches of NBA branches to monitor the trials of the #EndBadGovernance protesters.

Osigwe also stated that he has launched a pro bono support initiative for protesters who lack legal representation.

He made this known in a post on his X handle on Wednesday.

Osigwe disclosed that the recently established NBA’s Citizens’ Liberties Committee (NBA-CLC) has been positioned to ensure that no defendant suffers injustice.

The post read: “I have directed the branches of the Nigerian Bar Association @NigBarAssoc to monitor the trials of the #EndBadGovernance protesters. Additionally, I have launched a pro bono support initiative for 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.

“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.”
