The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has criticised Justice Ekaette Obot, the Chief judge of Akwa Ibom State for continuing to imprison Inibehe Effiong, a lawyer and activist who has been detained since July 27 over alleged contempt of court. The Congress's leadership on Thursday also called for the release of the lawyer, saying the labour movement is driven by the fundamental principle of fairness in law that presumes "an accused person is innocent until proven guilty - Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, not qui negat."
