Olumide Akpata, President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has hinted that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and six other lawyers believed to have aided judges in the issuance of conflicting orders may soon face the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee. He made the disclosure at a press conference in Abuja, where he addressed stakeholders on the rationale behind this year's Justice Sector Summit held today in the FCT. Akpata regretted that there had been a serious gap in the justice system, especially in the area of judges' appointments, funding of the sector and undue delays of litigations. The NBA is organising the summit in collaboration with other groups and Vice President Yemi Osibanjo.
