The delegation also met with the Chief Judge of Lagos State High Court, the Hon. Justice Kazeem Alogba and together, they combed the facility to ascertain the level of damages.
The NBA President and the whole team also visited the nearby City Hall Building which housed the NBA Lagos Branch Office and was led by the Chairman of the Branch on this phase of inspection.
While at the City Hall building, the President met with victims of the Wednesday attack, particularly the proprietors of 5 Law firms housed in the City Hall whose offices were looted and vandalised by the hoodlums.
The NBA President commiserated with the victims of the attack and assured them of the Association’s cooperation in ameliorating their losses.
The NBA urges the Federal Government and the various State Governments to take lawful proactive steps in containing the current volatile situation in the Country.
