A lawyer, Barr. F. A. Onwuachi was kidnapped on Friday, 12/3/2021 around 7:30pm along Ezu river/Anaku road in Ayamelum Local government area.
The kidnappers have not made any contact with the family up till this moment. The lawyer is a committed member of the NBA, Otuocha Branch.
In a statement made available to lawyerwaka.com, the Nigerian Bar Association, Otuocha branch has called on the Executive Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Willie Obiano to take proactive measures to ensure that the lawyer returns safe and unites with his family unhurt within 72hours .
The branch equally calls on the security agencies in Anambra State to ensure that their colleague who has been in captivity for four days now is released immediately.
The branch states that “Anambra State is in shambles in terms of security. Nobody is safe in Anambra State if a lawyer can be kidnapped and four days thereafter he has not been rescued. We are calling on all the lawyers in Anambra State to boycott court session in all the courts in Anambra State from Wednesday, 17th March, 2021 until our colleague returns home safe….”
The statement was signed by Okafor Anthony Uche Esq, Chairman, NBA Otuocha branch.
May the Lord intervene and secure the release of our own learned colleague. Amen
