Breaking:Ex-NBA President Kidnapped by nanss(op): 10:52am On Oct 12, 2014
The immediate past President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Okey
Wali, has been kidnapped in Port Harcourt, the lawyers body has said.
In a press statement Saturday, the NBA said it received the “shocking news”
that Mr. Wali, its 26th President, was kidnapped by unknown persons on
Saturday, October 11, at about 9 p.m.
Mr. Wali, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and an indigene of Rivers State, was
elected the NBA’s president in 2012 and served in that capacity until July
this year.
“Okey Wali SAN is a man of peace who has not only contributed immensely
to the enthronement of rule of law and protection of human rights, but also
to the development of our Nation,” the NBA said in the statement signed by
Augustine Alegeh, its current president.

“It is therefore saddening that he should become a kidnap victim. This sad
event is yet another reminder of the state of insecurity in which all
Nigerians live.
“The NBA calls on the Federal Government to step up efforts to fulfil its
primary constitutional role of providing for the welfare and security of all
Nigerians. We passionately appeal to his abductors for his immediate and
safe release to his family.”

We have a C-in-C that is more interested in politicking and so desperate for second term even if it makes the country burn. He neither care for the Security of the citizens nor the economy. I hope Mr. Wali returns alive and in goodd shape.

So many things, mr president promised to provide security of life and property. If he can't, we demand for his resignition with immediate effect.

So the state gov did not promise to provide security. You should start by calling Amaechi to resign before GEJ. Let's not allow sentiments to blind our reasoning.

Kidnapping is now a rampant business in Rivers state. Its not really a matter of who you are or anything now, once you drive a fancy car at night, its enough to attract these hoodlums and funny enough, the police seem to benefit from their activities.

Ps I have first hand experience with kidnappings in Rivers state even as at a week ago so I know what I'm saying
