The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu (SAN), has expressed concern over what he described as Nigerians' declining confidence in the legal profession. He warned that lawyers must work to restore public trust.
Speaking at an event in Abuja on June 26, 2026, Aliyu noted that the perception of corruption within the legal system has eroded faith in lawyers. He urged legal practitioners to uphold ethical standards and integrity.
The ICPC chief emphasized that the commission remains committed to fighting corruption, including within the judiciary. He called for collaboration between the legal profession and anti-corruption agencies to rebuild trust.
