A Nigerian attorney expressed his displeasure when, in spite of the fact that his client had already been granted bail, a court clerk asked for ₦20,000 in order to deliver a document to the magistrate for signature.
The clerk’s demand for ₦20,000 was deemed unreasonable by the attorney, especially since his client had already received the required bail.
This episode demonstrates enduring problems with the legal system, whereby monetary demands can impede the progress of cases even after positive results, such as the granting of bail, have been obtained.
The caption of the video read; Bribery and corruption among the clerks of courts.
The video has since gone viral, prompting people to voice their thought in the comment section.
