“You have bleached yourself like a woman” Two lawyers verbally assault each other in Enugu courtroom (video)

Two lawyers engaged in a war of words and nearly came to blows in a customary court in Obukpa, Nsukka, Enugu State.

In a video shared online, the lawyers are seen raising their voices and charging at each other while some of their colleagues tried to intervene.

During the verbal fight, both lawyers picked up chairs and threatened to hit each other with them, causing the petitioner and the defendant to take to their heels. They ended up dropping the chairs without hitting themselves.

One of the lawyers is then heard saying, “He is a very small boy… He is a mad man.”

The second lawyer warned, “Touch me again…”

“Who touched you. Look at this mad man,” the first lawyer said then started walking out of the courtroom.

“Look at you. You have bleached yourself like a fool. You have bleached yourself like a woman,” the second lawyer said to his colleague’s retreating figure.
