If this is true, then this government is the most hypocritical one since 1960. Talk about the so-called austerity measures.

You don't need 80 lawyers to win even if it's 20 cases ,except you want to intimidate and harass the judges by packing many lawyers per case
the most celebrated law case of all time involving OJ Simpsons and Johnny Cochrane didn't need 5lawyers

Modified We know it's not 80lawyers per case, it doesnt make it less wasteful. Lawyers can only deliberate on cases after investigations by EFCC, thereby making them idle pending investigations.
If you were patience enough to read in-between the line line...The article said the govt. train 80 lawyers to handle high profile cases along side some 1500 terrorism cases pending with the high court...not that all the 80 lawyers will be assign to a single case...at times its good to read before commenting..

FG should not let fight against corruption distracts it from other purpose of governance. Put more resources on infrastructures, let the economy be developed. Economy is not laughing, rather it is getting harsh as the fight against corruption thickens.

You are confused or misunderstanding me.. OJ's case had only 5 lawyers minus paralegals
FG lawyers will not be paralegals or temps.. Its wasteful
you are arguing a daft point the lawyers have a heck of a whole load of work to do. Some are being assigned to about one thousand five hundred terrorism cases, efcc cases etc. Read the post

Buhari has BOUGHT the COFFINS of corrupt politicians and civil servants already. They should just resign themselves to fate.

I am glad you corrected yourself.

By the way, OJ Simpson was defended by the so-called Dream Team comprised of nine attorneys led by J. Cochrane.

You will be surprised that the forgery case against the The duo and two others of Senate standing rules will be withdrawn on Monday. The case is an outright executive interference with the independence of the Legislature and the principle of separation of powers. How can the AGF be more catholic than the pope?

You are 100% INCORRECT. OJ Simpson had a team of 10 lawyers: Robert Shapiro, Johnnie Cochran, F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, Shawn Holley, Carl E. Douglas, Gerald Uelmen, Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld.

Please get your facts straight before you make ridiculous false claims on the Internet that can be easily refuted with a simple Google search....
