So,who is going to defend them in court?

Illiterate statement from supposed learned people.

So they didn't learn innocent until proven guilty?

In a country like 9ja that police can pick you up around 9pm when you are going out to buy Suya and declare you Armed Robber? I guess oyo is ur case since u can't even get a lawyer to defend ur case.

How I wish all other MBA can be doing same. I think crime will reduce. God help us.

This makes sense, tools of justice should not promote criminality, especially in a state as Benin where it is rampant.

Can a criminal case trial hold without a defense lawyer?

PlayerMeji:
Noble as their act is.. It still recks of inconsideration and immaturity.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

The sole essence of having some form of representation in criminal cases is
basically to explore all the possible options contained in ambits of a law and once they exhausted, the criminal can even convince others why he had to be jailed.

Even, the Panty bomber, Abdulmutallab was aptly represented in US in spite of the carnage he almost caused.

So Edo NBA should perfect their arguments for and against the subject matter and not kill a fly with a sledgehammer.

what is innocent about a man that was caught in the act of armed robbery With an AK 47 with murdered victims around him?

You need a brain check bro.... Sometimes I just want some of you guys defending criminals to be victims that never recovered from criminals

NairaMedia:
The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Benin Branch, on Thursday, barred its members from defending persons charged with the grievous and felonious offences of kidnapping and armed robbery.

The branch made this known in a communiqué signed by its Chairman, Collins Ogiegbaen, and Secretary, Pius Oiwoh.

The association said it is withdrawing its services from all suspects whose offences are related to kidnapping against the background of incessant cases of kidnap and attempted kidnap of its members.

“In this regard and for purposes of emphasis, the branch resolves that all lawyers registered with it are forthwith prohibited from appearing for kidnap suspects either at the police station or in any court within the state.

Consequently, any member of the bar found flouting the resolution/directive shall be heavily sanctioned accordingly,” the communiqué said.

In case you guys don't know , these two ppl ( chairman & secretary ) re evil incarnate that I have had an encounter with . So it doesn't come as a surprise . Though their tenure as chairman and secretary is about to come to an end and the evil secretary is vying for the chairmanship position . So to say what about the mantra " innocent until proving guilty " is an understatement and doesn't work with their evil ideology. I pray it happens to one of their relatives so they can feel the heat of no legal representation for their accused relations even though innocent or guilty .
