Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Alogba, has expressed concern over the conduct of some lawyers in court. He, however, urged judges and lawyers to protect the sanctity of the legal profession in the country.
Alogba stated this while addressing lawyers, judges and other legal practitioners during a cocktail party held at the Ikeja High Court Complex as part of activities to mark the commencement of the Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and Development Law yearly conference.
“When the incident of the #EndSARs happened in Lagos, I told some of my colleagues and friends in different fora that if you sit back and think for a minute, the correctional facilities were attacked, the police were attacked, the judiciary was attacked. “If they chose not to go and burn down other places, not to go and burn down government house, but to burn down courts, burn down police stations and burn down the correctional centres, then they are complaining about the administration of justice.
