The 26th President of the of Nigerian Bar Association-NBA-Mr. Okey Wali (SAN) has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Port Harcourt.
According to Mr. Wali's successor-Augustine Alegeh-the kidnap happened at about 9pm on Saturday.
“Okey Wali (SAN) 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. The NBA calls on the Federal
Government to step up efforts to fulfil its primary constitutional role
of providing for the welfare and security of all Nigerians. We passionately appeal to his abductors for his immediate and safe release to his family," the statement concluded.
Mr. Wali was NBA president from 2012 to July 2014
