Prof. Olanrewaju Onadeko, Director-General,
Nigerian Law School, said on Thursday that some lawyers have been caught
writing examination for students in the school.
Onadeko,
a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), disclosed this when he presented the
school`s report to the annual general meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association
in Port Harcourt.
Onadeko,
who did not state the number of affected lawyers, said the matter had been
reported to the NBA.
He
urged the association to take action against such lawyers to save legal
education in the country.
Mr Rotimi Jacob, SAN, charged the NBA to
address the issue raised by the director-general of the law school.
He
said those found guilty should be disciplined after due process had been
followed to determine their cases.
Jacob
said the issue was serious because of its implications on the future of legal
education in the country.
The
outgoing President of NBA, Mr Augustine Alegeh, said the association had not
received report of such incident in the past two years.
He,
however, said that the NBA had a committee to handle the matter on receipt of
the report.
