Justice Daniel Okungbowa of the Edo
State High Court has been kidnapped.
This incident happened less than three weeks
after the release of a human rights activist and
lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhomhe, SAN, by his
abductors.
Justice Okungbowa was reportedly kidnapped in
Benin City, the state capital, while his
whereabouts remain unknown at press time.
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.
When contacted, Edo State Police Commissioner,
Mr. Foluso Adebanjo, denied that the judge was
kidnapped, noting that it was merely a case of
missing person.
Meanwhile, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, Moses Eguavoen, who responded to the
lawyers demand, said that the police was
working hard to ensure that the judge was
released unhurt.
It will be recalled that recently, the wife,
daughter and driver of Justice Bode Rhodes-
Vivour of the Supreme Court were kidnapped in
Benin, Edo State.
The gunmen reportedly waylaid the woman, her
daughter and their driver at gunpoint as they
were driving to Benin, in preparation for Justice
Vivour daughter’s wedding.
It was learnt that that Mrs. Rhodes-Vivour and
her daughter were kept in a house in Upper
Sakpoba area of Benin City from where the
suspects were arrested.
