Beef Up Security Around Lawyers-Jimoh Mumin Esq. – TheNigerialawyer

Kidnappers recently kidnapped a lawyer based in Ibadan, Mr.
Musibau Adetunmbi at Iwaraya Community Area in Osun State.

Eye witnesses, particularly the junior lawyers who were with him
on that day, told the Oyo Bar chairman that their boss was on his
way to perform his legitimate duty when he was kidnapped and
whisked to an unknown destination.

Many people, families, colleagues, friends were unhappy while
many went to the Mosque and Church to pray that God touch the heart
of the kidnappers so as to have a rethink to release the said
Ibadan-based legal icon, Mr. Musibau Adetunmbi. As fate would have
it, he was later released unhurt.

It is true that government is doing well by providing security
for our judges and magistrates in Nigeria. In view of this, senior
lawyers in the country should also be protected. I want to make a
passionate appeal to the Inspector General of Police, Mr Muhammad
Adamu, to do something to protect senior lawyers from being
kidnapped.

I see no reason anyone in Nigeria should wake up and think of
kidnapping lawyers. If one is cheated and you want justice, it is
the lawyers that will assist you. While commending the Osun State
Police Command for a job well done, I reiterate that senior lawyers
in Nigeria deserve respect.

Let me use this medium to ask the Federal Government of Nigeria,
under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, to do more for
youths so as to touch their lives. If it will require the
government to take foreign loan to assist the youths, I think it is
good to do that. The government is expected to seek international
support to end kidnapping in Nigeria. This is necessary because
nobody knows the next victim.
