Refund ₦300 Million Rivers Money Now, Adegboruwa Tells NBA
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, says the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has no basis for retaining the “gift” from Rivers State, and it should refund the ₦300m immediately.
In a statement made available to the press, the learned silk said the bar should not hide under any semantics or bureaucracy to retain the money.
According to Adegboruwas, lawyers are the conscience of the society, who are expected to champion the rule of law, and as such the NBA should not be seen to be romancing with any government, especially in the face of the suffering experienced by the masses.
He advised that the ₦300m should be paid into an escrow account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) pending the restoration of democracy in Rivers State and insisted that the NBA is not a bank.
