JUST IN: NBA embarks on a two-day boycott of courts over Onnoghen's suspension

The Nigerian Bar Association, on Monday, 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.

“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.

Justice Onnoghen’s suspension has attracted mixed reactions from Nigerians, with the majority regarding the move as an illegal action and a coup against the judiciary by the executive.
