Nigeria, July 20 -- Jibrin Samuel Okutepa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN, has expressed his loss of confidence in the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) following its just concluded controversial national officers' election.

Mr Okutepa, known for his blunt commentaries on the Nigerian Bar and the bench as well as governance generally, said in a post he shared on X on Sunday that he has lost faith in the association as a professional body as a result of the election that has received mixed reactions from various quarters.

The senior lawyer alleged that the election, which produced Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, also a SAN, as the association's 33rd president, "stripped the association of the credibility, objectivity, honesty and integrity"...
