For the second time in 48 hours, lawyers threw caution to the wind as they went riotous over collection of bags and other conference materials.

The incident, this time around, happened at BWC Hotel, opposite Eko Atlantic, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, venue of Annual General Conference (AGC) of the association.
While the Annual General Meeting(AGM) was on-going, lawyers thronged BWC Hotel and grounded its services.
A bewildered President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olumide Akpata informed the meeting of the matter while also expressing disgust over the conduct of the lawyers on the development.
He said: “Lawyers have taken over BWC Hotel. Lawyers are sitting on the tables and desks of the hotel.
“It has become impossible for the hotel to conduct their businesses.”
Owing to the development, Akpata sought and got the permission of other lawyers at the AGM and quickly dispatched the First Vice President of the association, John Aikpokpo-Martins to BWC Hotel, to join officials in-charge of distribution of conference materials to bring the situation under control.
