More groups and individuals, including former President of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Chief O.C.J. Okocha, SAN, have condemned the abduction of the immediate past president of the NBA, Mr. Okey Wali, SAN, and demanded his immediate release unconditionally without harm.
Some of the groups are Port Harcourt branch of the NBA, Civil Liberties Organization, CLO, and University of Port Harcourt Alumni Association.
Chief Okocha, who pleaded for Wali’s unconditional release, said it was sad that anybody could contemplate abducting the immediate past NBA President, describing him as a complete gentleman.
He said: “The abduction is condemnable. This is very shocking. He is not a money bag, or a politician with money he can’t account for. I appeal for his unconditional release.”
In the same vein, Mr. Ifedayo Adedipe, SAN, who called for the unconditional release of the former NBA president condemned the abduction, saying “it is a sad development.”
He enjoined the state government and security operatives to step up action to protect lives in the state.
Similarly, Port Harcourt branch of the NBA, through its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Angus Chukwuka, appealed for Wali’s unconditional release and urged security operatives in the state to swing into action to unmask the abductors.
“The abduction is unfortunate. We are calling on the state government and security bodies in the state to swing into action to ensure his release,” Port Harcourt NBA said.
