Constitutional law authority and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, will serve as a panelist in a high-stakes discussion on “Citizens’ Rights and Security Concerns”, scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference.
With a decorated career spanning human rights advocacy, legal scholarship, and public interest litigation, Ozekhome’s voice brings both gravitas and clarity to a national conversation long overdue.
The session is anchored on the urgent need for a functional relationship between legal practitioners and security operatives, particularly in Nigeria’s troubled socio-political landscape.
Ozekhome is expected to deliver incisive commentary on systemic lapses in law enforcement, the erosion of civil liberties, and the dangerous normalization of impunity.
For the South East, which this session seeks to highlight, his interventions may further underscore the region’s peculiar security realities, institutional deficits, and pathways to justice.
Participants anticipate a bold critique of both the Bar and the security agencies, as Ozekhome calls for transformative engagement rooted in law, accountability, and a deeper commitment to national healing.
