CHILD CUSTODY: THE CHILD’S WELFARE COMES FIRST

When a marriage breaks down, disagreements over custody can easily overshadow the needs of the child.

Under Section 71(1) of the Matrimonial Causes Act, the child’s interests are the paramount consideration in custody proceedings under the Act. In Williams v. Williams (1987) 2 NWLR (Pt. 54) 66, the Supreme Court affirmed that the child’s welfare must guide the court’s decision.

The legal implications are clear:

1. Neither parent’s claim automatically takes priority over the other’s.
2. The court considers the child’s education, physical care and mental wellbeing.
3. Custody arrangements must serve the child’s interests, with appropriate provision for access where the court considers it proper.

Parents should therefore approach custody disputes with a practical question: What arrangement will best protect this child’s wellbeing and future?

A marriage may end, but the responsibility to protect and care for the children continues.

IF YOU ARE ARRESTED AND CANNOT AFFORD A LAWYER, HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

Being unable to afford a lawyer does not mean you have no rights. The law protects everyone, regardless of how much money they have.

1. YOU STILL HAVE YOUR RIGHTS

Your constitutional rights do not disappear because you have been arrested or cannot afford a private lawyer. You are still entitled to be treated with dignity and according to the law.

2. ASK FOR LEGAL AID

If you cannot afford a lawyer, you can ask for assistance from the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria, which provides legal services to eligible persons who cannot afford private legal representation.

You can simply say:

“I cannot afford a lawyer. I would like to speak with a lawyer or contact the Legal Aid Council before making a statement.”

3. IF YOU ARE DENIED ACCESS TO A LAWYER

Remain calm and respectful. Do not resist arrest, fight with officers, insult anyone, or offer money to secure your release.

Simply repeat your request to speak with a lawyer from the legal aid and make it clear that you want legal assistance.

Justice is not supposed to be only for people who can afford expensive lawyers.

✊🏾🔥 VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE! 🔥✊🏾

Last Friday, CDHR Orile-Iganmu Unit intervened in the PHCN (NEPA) Doyin unit, matter involving five prepaid meters allegedly owing ₦7,000,000.

Following our intervention and investigation:

✅ 4 meters — NO DEBT established.
✅ 1 meter — ₦390,000 debt confirmed and FULLY PAID.

The alleged ₦7,000,000 debt was therefore not established.

This is a victory for accountability, transparency, and people’s rights! ✊🏾

We will continue to speak truth to power and stand with the people.

✊🏾 POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Fake Lawyer Sentenced To 3 Years In Aba

A 65-year-old man, Iheanacho Emenike, has been convicted by the Magistrate Court sitting in Aba South, Abia State, after pleading guilty to three offences.

According to the charge, he falsely presented himself as a legal practitioner, collected ₦500,000 from a woman to prepare an Irrevocable Power of Attorney for her, and used a purported Nigerian Bar Association seal as genuine.

The court sentenced him to 1 year imprisonment on Count 1, 2 years on Count 2 and 3 years on Count 3. The sentences will run concurrently, meaning his effective sentence is 3 years imprisonment, with no option of a fine.

Now, this is a warning to people who think law is just about sitting in a cyber café, typing agreements and putting fake lawyer’s stamps on them.

And to those allowing roadside “surveyors” and other people to edit legal documents prepared by lawyers, please be careful.

That small job you collected money to do may land you in court.
