Mike Ozekhome
A legal practitioner and former Commissioner for Transport in Lagos State, Dr. Muiz Banire, on Monday expressed concern over the spate of kidnappings in the country and call on Nigerians to cooperate with security agencies to reduce the trend.
The National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress in a statement in Abuja titled, “Enough of Kidnappers’ Reign in Nigeria” also called on the abductors of Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) to release him.
He said, “I deplore the recent incontinent wave of kidnappings in our dear country, Nigeria. The recent and most bloody kidnapping of Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) in Edo State, is quite alarming and frightening. It is a confirmation of the truism in the aphorism that the death of a relative is an assertion of one’s own mortality. It is a most condemnable incident that we must all rise up to stop.”
According him, Nigeria had not finished nursing the wounds inflicted on the national psyche by “the most unfortunate kidnap of the wife and daughter of the Hon. Justice Bode Rhodes Vivour and the accompanying dent on our national image when the souless traders of human freedom and death abducted Chief Ozekhome and senselessly killed four policemen in the process.”
