The acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Mohammed, has condemned what he described as despicable dressing by some lawyers to court.
Akande Festus, Director, Press and Information, Supreme Court, in a statement on Thursday said the CJN made this known during a courtesy visit by members of the Abuja Branch of the Nigeria Bar Association,
Justice Mohammed warned that lawyers who did not adhere strictly to the time-honoured dress code of legal practitioners would not be allowed to appear in court. He urged lawyers to always advise their clients correctly and never try to mislead them into believing what was not true. He, however, lamented the unwillingness of most practising lawyers to be appointed to the bench, as they always believed judges were poor people.“Taking up judicial appointment is a great sacrifice that we all should be able to make for our fatherland, so I appeal to you to always be willing to serve as judges whenever such opportunity comes.
