A video capturing the moment a security guard allegedly physically ass@ulted a lawyer at the Federal High Court on May 18 has gone viral on social media.
Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, who shared the clip online, condemned the incident and accused court security personnel of mistreating lawyers and litigants.
‘’The Federal High Court has now been reduced to a center for the dehumanization of lawyers and litigants. Today, court security personnel physically ass@ulted one of my lawyers simply for insisting that we be allowed into the court premises to attend to our cases. Nigeria is finished!”
The video has since sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians expressing concern over the treatment of legal practitioners at the court premises.
