The Ado Ekiti branch of Nigerian Bar Association has declared
that no lawyer from its branch shall henceforth defend anybody that
is accused of kidnapping a fellow citizen.
The branch at its Monthly General Meeting which was held on
Friday by a majority vote, unanimously resolved that no lawyer in
branch should appear for kidnappers or handle kidnapping cases.
TheNigerialawyer recalls that due to the incessant cases of
kidnapping of citizens of Ekiti state in Owo and environs, the
Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Owo branch had on December made a
resolution that no member of the branch should represent any kidnap
suspect.
This is the second branch from the same state that has barred
its members from representing kidnap suspects.
