The statement said that the body alao confirmed the Director-General, Nigerian Law School, Prof. Isa Chiroma, and Emir of Lafia, Justice Sidi Bage.

Others were Retired Justice of the Supreme Court, Ejembi Eko, and former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Trafficking in persons in Africa, Prof. Joy Ngozi Ezeilo (SAN).

According to the statement, with the newly confirmed life benchers, the total number of life benchers in the country has now risen to 170.

“This is a cap set for the next five years before new life members will be admitted into the body of practitioners of the highest distinction in the legal profession.

“The elevation of the new life benchers is obviously in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the development of legal profession in the country, and for upholding integrity and excellence,” it said.
