•High Chief Prof Mike Ozekhome SAN Speaks at 2024 NBA Conference


High Chief Prof Mike Ozekhome SAN, CON, OFR, a renowned human rights activist, constitutional lawyer, and nation builder, delivered a thought-provoking speech at the 2025 NBA Conference in Enugu. His talk centered on the accountability of lawyers in cases involving proceeds of crime. According to Ozekhome, a lawyer who knowingly receives professional fees from illicit activities should be held accountable. However, he emphasized that lawyers who are paid for legitimate services without knowledge of the funds' origin should not be targeted.

*Accountability in the Legal Profession

Ozekhome's statement highlights the importance of accountability in the legal profession. He stressed that lawyers have a responsibility to uphold the law and ensure that their services are not used to facilitate illicit activities. By holding lawyers accountable for knowingly receiving proceeds of crime, the legal profession can maintain its integrity and uphold the trust of the public.




*Protecting Innocent Lawyers

At the same time, Ozekhome emphasized the need to protect lawyers who are unaware of the origin of the funds they receive for legitimate services. He argued that targeting innocent lawyers would be unfair and could undermine the rule of law. Instead, the law should focus on the clients who engage in illicit activities, rather than the lawyers who provide legitimate services.

*A Call for Nuanced Approach





Ozekhome's speech called for a nuanced approach to addressing the issue of proceeds of crime in the legal profession. By distinguishing between lawyers who knowingly facilitate illicit activities and those who do not, the legal profession can develop effective strategies to prevent the misuse of legal services while protecting the rights of innocent lawyers and their clients
