Some lawyers view the dressing as a breach of the Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners, RPC. “I think something should be done about the dress code it is a she to the profession.” a lawyer reacted.
Other lawyers on the other had said the person might have worn the slippers due to health issues.
“There’s an exception, maybe he sustained injuries” a lawyer reacted.
Another one said, “do you know the health condition that warranted this? You would have taken further steps by asking him why he dressed the way he did.”
As at the time of making this news, TheNigeriaLawyer was yet to ascertain whether the man in the picture is a lawyer or not.
Another lawyer, who does not want his identity revealed informed TheNigerialawyer, that the man in question is a lawyer though he sustained an injury.
