The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate,
Omoyele Sowore has commended a Nigerian lawyer for appearing in court in
traditional attire.
There was mild drama at the Supreme Court, on Thursday when
a Lagos Based Human Rights Lawyer, Malcom Omoirhobo appeared in full
traditional regalia of an “Olokun priest”
The lawyer who addressed the press at the court premises
said his decision followed the court’s earlier pronouncement that Nigerians are
free to express their way of worship in schools and in courts via dressing.
Reacting, Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, commended
the lawyer, saying there was a need for lawyers to dress according to the
Nigerian culture.
In a post on his social media handles, Sowore said, “I
totally support and commend Barrister Malcom Omoirhobo over the regalia he wore
to the Supreme Court today.
“Our lawyers also need to get rid of the White Man’s wigs
and wear attires traditional to our environment”!
