Citing alleged high-handedness on the part of Justice Courage Ogbebor, lawyers in the Benin-city, Edo State, branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) yesterday began a boycott of High Court 6 presided over by the Justice.
It was alleged that there have been complaints from both senior and junior lawyers over activities of the Justice, including a situation where she was said to have delayed a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and instructed him to wait till the end of the sitting, “which is against the normal practice.”
According to one of the legal practitioners (name withheld), “It is against our practice as once a SAN is in the court, no matter how many, his or her matter is attended to first, but the Justice kept the SAN till the end of her sitting.”
