Nigeria’s female lawyers clash over discriminatory dress code (plus.google.com)
Nigeria
No one ever thought that West Africa’s largest economy of Nigeria could be faced with clashes over how appropriate a dress code is until the country’s army and lawyers clashed over an order by the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai. It stated that all civil lawyers must appear in robes before a military court. He cited section 131(2)(d) of the Armed Forces Act, which deals with convening a special court-martial to try offending officers of the Nigerian Army, as his defense.
