The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, have announced the kidnap of its
immediate past president, Okey Wali.
According to a statement released last night, Mr Wali was kidnapped in
Port Harcourt yesterday Saturday October 11th around 9pm by unknown
persons.

"Okey Wali 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. 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. We
passionately appeal to his abductors for his immediate and safe
release to his family."
