Factional crises rocking the Aba branch of the Nigerian Bar Association seems far from over as the branch bus remained parked at the Port Harcourt branch office of the Nigerian Bar Association on Friday.
The crises metamorphosed into physical brawls during the Eastern Bar Forum (EBF) meeting in Portharcourt on February 2nd when two factions of the branch laid claims to the branch bus.
A source said that one of the factions had come with the bus for the meeting but the other faction came with thugs to steal the bus at the NBA secretariat Port Harcourt.
However, during the brawl that ensued, it was discovered that one of the persons who had come to steal the bus was never a lawyer.
This led to him being beaten up by the other faction before deflating the four tires of the bus and since then, the bus has been rotting in Portharcourt.
The source said that NBA local branches are squeaking, bleeding from injuries caused by 2015 NBA Constitution and it will affect the NBA national elections scheduled for July 2018.
