Kidnapping continues rearing its ugly head in Edo State as Justice Daniel Okungbowa of the Edo State High Court has been reportedly kidnapped.
Justice Okungbowa was reportedly kidnapped in Benin City, the state capital, while his whereabouts remain unknown as his abductors have not contacted anyone.
Meanwhie, the Benin branch of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, led by its Chairman, Mr. Oriame Akene led lawyers to protest to the Edo State Police Command office and the Department of Security Service, DSS, where they demanded for the release of the abducted judge unhurt.
The lawyers described the Judge’s kidnap as one too many and appealed to the security agencies to do something about it.
Responding to the the lawyers’ demand, state Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Eguavoen said that the police was working hard to ensure that the judge was released unhurt.
Edo State Police Commissioner, Mr. Foluso Adebanjo, however denied that the judge was kidnapped, noting that it was merely a case of missing person.
