A friendly game between lawyers from Onitsha in Anambra State and their counterparts in Abuja turned ugly on Monday when they resorted to an exchange of punches.
A video of the incident is currently trending online. The video shows the officers at the Temple of Justice frantically chasing each other all over the field, delivering slaps and punches.
The video was uploaded by a presumed fellow lawyer who is known as ‘Lord Advocate of Nigeria’ on X (Twitter), with the handle, @OHOgunbiyi.
He wrote: “Abuja Lawyers and Onitsha lawyers trading punches today at sports complex.”
