What should I do if my Nigerian lawyer might have a conflict of interest in my case and won't disclose it?

In Nigeria
Last Updated: Nov 7, 2025
I recently learned my lawyer may be representing another party with overlapping interests in my case and hasn't disclosed a conflict. I want to know the proper steps to address a potential conflict, including requesting disclosure and possibly changing counsel. Which Nigerian authorities handle lawyer discipline (NBA or the LPDC under the Legal Practitioners Act) and what remedies could I seek?
