Francis Onwuachi, Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Onitsha branch, Anambra, who was kidnapped on Friday, has been killed by his abductors.

Onwuachi, who is also the President-General of Omor, a community in Ayamelum Local Government Area, was kidnapped along Ezu River/Anaku Road on Friday, while on his way to his town by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.

The Committee of Chairmen and Secretaries of the Nigerian Bar Association Branches in Anambra State has bemoaned what it described as the worsening security situation in the state.

In a statement signed by all the chairmen and secretaries of the various branches, the association said there is tension in Anambra State and urged the Nigerian government, Anambra State Government and heads of security agencies to address the security issues before it denigrates to anarchy.

The statement read: "The Committee of Chairmen and Secretaries of the Nigerian Bar Association branches in Anambra State bemoans the worsening security situation in Anambra State and calls on the Federal Government, Anambra State Government and heads of security agencies to wake up and be alive to their responsibilities of protecting lives and properties of the citizens.

"The Committee notes that the security situation in Anambra State is highly tensed up and frightening, to say the least. Recently, there have been cases of kidnap and gruesome murder/killing of innocent citizens and security personnel in the state and nothing is being done to curb these frightening security challenges in the state.

"Just last Friday, 12/3/2021, a lawyer, Bar Frank Onwuachi, who is also the President-General of Omor in Ayamelum LGA of Anambra State was kidnapped along Ezu River/Anaku road and gruesomely murdered the following day by his captors.

"Yesterday, 19/3/2021, two Prison Officers were killed at Ekwulobia, Aguata LGA and this is barely 24 hours after Naval officers and policemen were killed at Awkuzu and Neni respectively. Also, a Naval Outpost close to Bridgehead was attacked sometimes last week resulting in the killings of some Naval officers and their weapons carted away.

"The Committee urgently calls on the State Government to as a matter of urgency summon a meeting of various security agencies in the state to address these worrisome security situations and tackle it headlong. Failure by the state government to act immediately may lead to descent to anarchy. We all cannot continue to downplay the security situation or pretend that all is well. The time to act is now.

"The Committee condoles with the NBA Otuocha Branch, the families of the late Bar Frank Onwuachi and all security men killed by unknown gunmen and prays that their souls rest in peace. The Committee consequently resolves as follows: That all lawyers in Anambra State shall boycott all courts from Monday, 22/3/2021 to Wednesday, 24/3/2021;

"That all lawyers in Anambra State should converge at the Judiciary Headquarters, Awka on Monday, 22/3/2021 by noon for onward movement to the Government House, Awka to express our dissatisfaction with the current security situation in Anambra State; Chairmen of Bar Branches in Anambra State are requested to sensitize their members and various Court heads to ensure compliance with the above directives."

Dumboi ni bobo yii shaaa. Take your L and go and learn how google ads works. People with interest of laycon and opay will see the ad, not people whose interest are not on such. That's how it works and that's how they help advertisers maximize their returns for money spent on ads.

so according to u
if u want to rape ur mother and i didnt allow u
and later i came and said let me rape ur mother....instead of just saying no....u prefer to call ur gate man to do the rape ....cos u are angry i didnt let u rape her at first.
this seem logical to u
that Isaac and Ken couldnt use that same time to redeclare niger delta republic since they had their reasons to declear at first
so what changed that they now thought it was best to put the niger delta with nigeria to spite ojukwu

u see how dumb our niger delta leaders can be
and how dumb of u to justify what they did to their people just because they are angry

Brownsun:

preach! I started this season, supporting Erica and Laycon. Yea! Y’all heard right. As a mater of fact, Erica had about 60% of my votes in that first week, while the remaining went to Laycon.

Erica and Laycon caught my eyes and attention, and I was “stannig” both, until some kiddrica shippers started throwing Laycon under the bus ‘cos they wanted Erica to be with Kidd. They wanted their “then” imaginary ship to sail badly and started throwing Laycon under the bus...Laycon became the recipient of their shady remarks and thrash talks ‘cos he was always chilling with Erica.
On social media, I started seeing posts like “Laycon needs to leave that place and let kidd talk to erica” “Laycon is getting too comfortable with Erica, he should know where he belongs” these amongst many other annoying posts/Comments.

Now, let’s talk about when Laycon said “ if I apply pressure, maybe he go enter” these “wannabe Arisers” spinned that statement, they started calling him a creep, An obsessed individual and some even went as far as calling him a rapist (how the icons and team Laycon were able to stage the huge comeback afterwards remains a mystery to me)
The reasons cited above, made me retrace my steps, hence sticking with just Laycon.

These selfish kiddrica shippers never liked Laycon to begin with, while many of us were being awed by their bond earlier in the show, these kiddrica shippers were always looking to diss and throw Laycon under the bus at the slightest chance ‘cos he was believed to be the reason why their “then” imaginary ship never left the harbour.
For those wondering how toxicity came into the picture, there you have it.

To be honest, I feel the whole Layrica ship crumbling down so early in the game is actually a blessing in disguise for Laycon (I’ll explain why later)

Sunnycliff:
That is what we paid for. Not a family reunion or love cycle

Threebear:
She supported Ike last year though and Ike wasn't a threat to Mercy in anyway and after the events of last night , I think the biggest threat to Laycon will be Nnegi.

zicoraads:
We love her more.

...and for securing our baby boy for the week and saving us some votes, she will also be getting some votes from some of us.

Baby girl needs all the support.
