TINUBU UK STATE VISIT ENDS THURSDAY

British Monarch King Charles the third spoke Yoruba, quoted Hausa and Igbo sayings and managed to speak some pidgin during his speech at the state banquet he held in honour of Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state visit to the United Kingdom.  The first day of which began with full ceremonial honours, blending royal pageantry with diplomatic substance. Thus far, the visit has been marked by cultural symbolism, religious tolerance and historic firsts as Arise International Correspondent Adefemi Akinsanya reports.

NO JUDGE HAS THE POWER TO ORDER A LAWYER TO KNEEL IN COURT

The Nigerian Bar Association is concerned about reports of an incident that occurred on Monday, 16 March 2026, at the Federal High Court, Abuja, involving Honourable Justice Mohammed Umar and a legal practitioner, Mr. Marshall Abubakar, who appeared as lead defence counsel to Mr. Omoyele Sowore @sowore. According to reports, the learned trial judge, in response to counsel raising his voice while addressing the court on the suitability of a hearing date, directed the lawyer to step out of the Bar and kneel down, alongside issuing threats of committal for contempt.

The NBA views this development with utmost seriousness, given its implications for the dignity of the legal profession and the sanctity of the courtroom.

The courtroom is a temple of justice, governed by law, procedure, and decorum. While judges are vested with the authority to maintain order and discipline in their courts, such authority must be exercised strictly within the bounds of the law and established judicial standards. The power to punish for contempt is well recognised; however, it is circumscribed by defined legal procedures designed to ensure fairness, objectivity, and respect for the rights and dignity of all persons appearing before the court.

A judex directing a legal practitioner or indeed any person whatsoever to kneel in court is not a recognised judicial sanction under our laws and does not align with the standards of judicial conduct expected on the Bench. The dignity of the court must be preserved not only in outcome but also in process, and this includes the manner in which judicial authority is exercised. If a judge is of the view that a person has acted in a manner that is contemptuous of the court, the judge MUST follow the accepted way of conducting proceedings for such allegations.

We reiterate that legal practitioners bear a corresponding duty to conduct themselves with restraint, professionalism, and respect for the court at all times. While lawyers are entitled, indeed obligated, to advocate firmly and fearlessly on behalf of their clients, such advocacy must always be exercised within the bounds of courtesy and decorum. Disagreements with the court, no matter how strongly felt, must be expressed through proper legal channels and not in a manner that disrupts proceedings or undermines the authority of the court.

The legal profession thrives on a delicate but essential balance, one rooted in mutual respect between the Bar and the Bench. This relationship is fundamental to the administration of justice and must be jealously guarded.

The NBA calls for calm and restraint on all sides and urges that any grievances arising from courtroom incidents be addressed through appropriate institutional and disciplinary mechanisms. Where necessary, the Association will engage with relevant authorities to ensure that the rule of law, professional standards, and judicial ethics are upheld.

For raising his voice in court, the judge ordered Sowore's lawyer, Marshall Abubakar, to "come out and kneel down" in open court.

Expanding The Supreme Court Bench To 21 Justices Will Accelerate Justice Delivery

Upgrading the bench to the constitutional limit will boost efficiency and facilitate faster hearing and determination of pending appeals. The workload is enormous, with volumes of records requiring careful study before sound judgments can be delivered.
