At the heart of Enugu today, the excitement of the Nigerian Bar Association’s Annual General Conference took a dramatic twist as passionate protesters raised their voices demanding the release of Bright Ngene, Enugu South’s freshly elected lawmaker who’s currently behind bars.
Enugu, August 25, 2025 – What should have been a legal festivity at the NBA’s 2025 Annual General Conference held in Enugu turned into an impromptu protest scene as supporters of Bright Ngene, the recently elected Enugu South Constituency member of the State House of Assembly, rallied for his release from a correctional centre. The demonstrators made their stand boldly, blending advocacy with the spirit of the event, spotlighting a political drama unfolding just as the city hosted one of the nation’s top legal gatherings.
Ngene’s supporters insist his detention is unjust and are using the high-profile platform of the NBA conference to amplify their call for justice. The protest underscores the intersection of law, politics, and public passion in Enugu today.
