Falana
Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has criticised the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) for inviting former Liberian President George Weah to speak at its annual conference.
Falana accused Weah’s administration of undermining judicial independence in Liberia and questioned the decision to give him a platform to address Nigerian lawyers on democracy and the rule of law.
The senior lawyer spoke on Monday, a day after Weah delivered the keynote address at the opening ceremony of the NBA’s 66th Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
