Former NBA President, Okey Wali Kidnapped In Port Harcourt
The immediate past president of the Nigerian Bar Association Okey Wali, SAN was reported to have been kidnapped about 9 P.M on 11th of October 2014, Saturday Night by unknown persons in Port Harcourt.
The Nigerian Bar Association NBA disclosed this in a press statement Saturday, signed by its incumbent president, Mr. Augustine Alegeh (SAN)
“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.
“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”.
Mr Wali, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and an indigene of River state was NBA president from 2012 to July 2014
