Habeeb Lawal, the Assistant National Publicity Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, has said that action might be taken against comedian Lasisi Elenu over a video he made.

The video showed Lasisi Elenu playing the role of a lawyer which, according to Lawal, wasn't the right representation of their profession.

He tweeted: "Dear @lasisielenu, We've been tagged! We beg to use you as a point of reference to all other comedians. Lawyers have an awesome sense of humour, as such, we enjoy your jokes & appreciate the creativity.

"However, if you must represent our profession in your works kindly ensure you properly adorn the wig, bip & gown. We acknowledge your right of expression, but NOTE that we also reserve the rights to take all NECESSARY steps to guide against the ridicule of our noble profession and @NigBarAssoc shall not hesitate to exercise those rights".
