Photo: Nigeria’s Symbol Of Justice Draws Reactions On Social Media

A statue of Nigeria’s symbol of Justice has caused a barrage of reactions on social media as it differs from the traditional image.

Naija News understands that Nigeria’s symbol of justice is depicted as a blindfolded woman holding two even scales in one hand and a sword in the other hand.

The double-edged sword symbolizes the power of reason and justice, which may be wielded either for or against any party.

However, the one shared on Twitter by former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has a different look entirely from the approved statue.

Sharing a photo of the strange statue on his verified Twitter handle on Sunday, Senator Sani condemned it and asked that it should be pulled down.

“This is not the approved symbol of Justice. It should be pulled down and replaced with the one we are familiar with,” Sani wrote.

The former lawmaker, however, did not speak further on where the statue was erected.
