ADC Challenges NBA’s Disciplinary Action against Kalu Kalu

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has taken a bold step in challenging the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) over its decision to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Barrister Kalu Kalu. According to a statement issued by the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Yatai Richard, the party finds the NBA’s action ‘unjust and unwarranted.’

The NBA, Nigeria’s foremost professional body for lawyers, announced last week that it would be investigating Kalu Kalu over allegations of professional misconduct. However, the ADC, in a statement made available to EventsNigeria.com, has called for an immediate halt to the proceedings.

Richard, in the statement, accused the NBA of acting in haste and without due process, adding that the association has a history of ‘selective justice.’ He further asserted that the NBA’s actions could be politically motivated, given Kalu Kalu’s high-profile legal cases that have often been critical of the current administration.

The ADC’s call for a halt to the proceedings has sparked a heated debate within the legal community, with some lawyers expressing support for the ADC’s stance, while others argue that the NBA has the right to investigate and discipline its members.

This development comes at a time when the NBA is under scrutiny for its handling of various cases, including its response to the ongoing #EndSARS protests. The association has been criticized for its perceived bias and inaction in some cases.
