The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, have announced the kidnap of its
immediate past president, Okey Wali. According to a statement released
last night, Mr Wali was kidnapped in Port Harcourt yesterday Saturday
October 11th around 9pm by unknown persons.
"Okey Wali is a man of peace who has not only contributed immensely
to the enthronement of rule of law and protection of human rights, but
also to the development of our Nation. It is therefore saddening that he should become a kidnap victim. This
sad event is yet another reminder of the state of insecurity in which
all Nigerians live. We passionately appeal to his abductors for
his immediate and safe release to his family." the statement read
