In a surprising turn of events, a renowned Nigerian lawyer has shut down his practice in Akure and relocated to the UK, where he now works as a cleaner in a clothing store.
This news was disclosed by a human rights lawyer based in Ondo, Bolanle Cole, who expressed deep concern on the matter.
Finding it unsettling, Cole shared that experienced lawyers are leaving Nigeria to take up menial jobs such as security guards and sales assistants in the UK.
This specific lawyer, having closed his Akure office, moved to the UK through academic means with his wife’s support. According to Cole, he’s presently working for Primark as a cleaner.
“Senior lawyers leaving Nigeria to become a sales boy or security guard in the UK is worrisome,” he wrote.
“A very senior lawyer closed down his chamber here in Akure and relocated to the UK through the influence of his wife. He got to UK through study route and he is currently working with Primark as a cleaner.”
