The lawyer who addressed the press at the court premises said his decision followed the court’s earlier pronouncement that Nigerians are free to express their way of worship in schools and in courts via dressing.

Reacting, Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, commended the lawyer, saying there was a need for lawyers to dress according to the Nigerian culture.
