A senior lawyer from Akure, Ondo state, has recently made the difficult decision to close down his law chamber and relocate to the United Kingdom, where he now works as a cleaner to make ends meet. The incident was reported on X (formerly Twitter) by a fellow lawyer, @Bolanlecole, who shared the story of the senior lawyer’s journey.

According to @Bolanlecole, the senior lawyer, who had his own law chamber in Akure, decided to leave everything behind in Nigeria and move abroad under the influence of his wife. The couple chose to pursue the study route to enter the UK, but upon arrival, the senior lawyer found himself taking on a cleaning job at Primark to support himself and his family.

The tweet read, “A very senior lawyer closed down his chamber here in Akure and relocated to UK through the influenced of his wife. He got to UK through study route and he is currently working with Primark as a cleaner☺️”
