The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has tasked the Nigeria Police Force on the prompt arrest and prosecution of persons responsible for the death of a female lawyer, Princess Mediatrix Chigbo.
The lifeless body of the former treasurer of the Abuja branch of the NBA, was found dead a few days later along the Kubwa Expressway within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The incident occurred a few days after the body of a health worker with the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, was also discovered in the FCT, raising serious concerns over the rising menace of “one-chance” in the city centre.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Abuja branch of the NBA, while condemning the dastardly act, demanded swift action against the perpetrators.
The statement signed by both the chapter’s Chairman and Secretary, Steve Emelieze and Onyeka Obiajulu, urged relevant authorities to put machinery in place for the security and safety of residents of the FCT.
“The NBA Abuja Branch acknowledges and commends the efforts of the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies in combating crime within the FCT.
