Today, Eculaw & Co. witnessed a sobering and sad incident reminiscence of military era gestapo tactics of abuse of due process and flagrant violation of rule of law by men and officers of the Nigerian Police.
Ladies and gentlemen, the dark days are here with us again as Nigeria as a nation and indeed our nascent democracy slides and regresses into chaos, anarchy and enthronement of the culture of rule by brute force.
Today, our Emeka Ugwuonye, Esquire, principal partner of Eculaw & Co and lead convener of the Due Process Advocate (DPA) was kidnapped, led away and forcibly flown to the dark cell of the Criminal Investigation Department of the FCT Police Command. As some of you are already aware, our Emeka Ugwuonye, Esquire has been in the forefront of the enthronement of rule of law and due process advocacy. As a veteran of many battles against state oppression and injustice, Emeka Ugwuonye would not allow injustice, abuse and indeed violation of a citizen’s right to go unchallenged, whether in the north, south, east or west.

Today, at about 1:37pm, a crack team of police officers from the anti-kidnapping squad of the Criminal Investigation Department of the FCT Police Command barged into our office in plain clothes welding automatic assault war-issued riffles. They were six in number and roughly demanded to see Mr. Emeka Ugwuonye. The chambers’ admin officer informed them that Mr. Emeka was attending to docket responsibility in court and led them to the deputy head of the firm, Mr. Kingsley Ughe. Asked where they came from, they threatened to unleash mayhem on the office unless Emeka Ugwuonye was produced. The initial suspicion was that they were hired assassins. Amidst the chaos and confusion, some lawyers sneaked out of the office and alerted the security personnel guiding the office complex of Eculaw & Co.
