Call to Bar venue changed over insecurity

The Body of Benchers has moved the Call to Bar ceremony from the Law School premises in Bwari, Abuja, to its headquarters in the Jabi area of the Federal Capital Territory.

The Body of Benchers made this known via a statement issued on Tuesday by its Secretary, Daniel Manasseh Tela.

Although the reason for the change of the event’s venue was not stated, it was gathered that the development was due to the security threat in Abuja.

Terrorists were said to have laid siege to Abuja with the intention to attack the Law School in Bwari, and other government facilities.

The statement read: “This is to notify all Members of the Body of Benchers and Aspirants to the Bar that the Call to Bar Ceremony earlier scheduled to hold at the Nigerian Law School, Bwari, Abuja has been rescheduled to hold as follows:
