For wearing a barrister wig during a media interview, a law professor chastises the former minister.

A well-known law scholar has criticized Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, the former Minister of Women Affairs, for a recent media appearance.

Ohanenye had appeared on camera wearing the wig while discussing her commitment to justice and her involvement in a high-profile case of child abuse. The case in question involved a 5-year-old girl who was allegedly sexually abused by her teacher. Ohanenye had represented the victim’s family in court and had vowed to pursue justice relentlessly.

However, Odinkalu pointed out that wearing a barrister wig during a media interview is not in line with professional guidelines. He emphasized that while he supports Ohanenye’s cause, she should have appeared without the wig during the interview. He humorously noted that the wig is more suited to a Nollywood production than a serious media interview.

The law professor’s comment highlights the importance of adhering to professional standards and guidelines in legal settings. It also underscores the need for public figures to be mindful of their appearance and demeanor during media appearances.

Odinkalu’s criticism has sparked a debate about the role of barrister  wigs in modern legal practice. While some argue that the wig is an important symbol of professionalism and respect for the law, others see it as an outdated relic of a bygone era.

In any case, Ohanenye’s decision to wear the wig during the interview has drawn attention to the issue and sparked a wider conversation about the importance of professionalism and respect for the law.

As a former Minister of Women Affairs, Ohanenye is no stranger to the public eye. However, her decision to wear the barrister wig during the interview has raised questions about her judgment and professionalism.

Ultimately, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to professional standards and guidelines, even in the midst of high-profile media appearances.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
