"This book on Law of Evidence in Nigeria is one of the best legal texts I have read"

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has described a book written by Abuja-based lawyer, Mr. Sebastine Hon (SAN) as one of the "best legal texts he has read".

At the public presentation of Hon’s book: “Constitutional and migration law in Nigeria,” held at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, Osinbajo said:

“The author is bold, unequivocal, very insightful and forward-looking. He discussed such novel issues as proof of social media libel, electronically generated evidence. His comment on electronic signature, impressions made electronically was very unique. The way he takes on very difficult subjects and deals with them and gets a very clear and definite answer is marvelous.

“ He dealt with such issues as the legality of surrogate or assisted pregnancy, inheritance rights, euthanasia, etc, in a fantastic manner that shows that he has done a great work. It is a book that every one of us ought to read”, The Nation Newspaper reported.

Also present at the book launch was the Former President Olusegun Obasanjo who said: “I am not a lawyer. I hate legal jargons so I don’t know why he sent me a copy of the book."

“I really enjoyed reading the book and that is why I am here. In the book, he made some criticisms. We must be satisfied with these criticisms we see everyday that stare us in the face. This is a book everybody must read, both lawyers and non-lawyers. It must find a special place in my library.”

The Chairman of the occasion, former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Benue State, Mr. Mamman Mike Osuman (SAN), said Hon’s books have remained classic and a valuable treasure for all. The Nation Newspaper added.
