…Withdraws Rivers Govt support for Rivers NBA
Governor Nyesom Wike on Friday, dubbed the Nigeria Bar
Association, NBA, the enemy of Rivers state people for allegedly
playing politics with security in the state.
Wike, addressing Opening Session of the 2019/2020 Legal Year of
the Rivers State Judiciary in Port Harcourt, also declared his
administration’s withdrawal of support for Rivers branch of the
NBA.
He declared that, “By descending into the arena of politics with
irresponsible ultimatums, threats and utterances, the NBA in Rivers
has crossed the redline and become part of the enemy of our
people.”
“The NBA kept quiet when they closed down our courts in 2013,
lost its voice and remained indifferent when the homes of judges
were brazenly attacked in the dead of night by security agents.
“Again, it looked the other way and maintained conspiratorial
silence when political thugs invaded the High Court premises in
failed politically motivated bid to stop judges from sitting.
“In midst of these failures and acts of gross irresponsibility,
Chairman of the Port Harcourt NBA had the temerity to issue
ultimatums to the State Government, threatening boycott of courts
on account of an unfortunate kidnap that affected a member.
“Security of lives and property is one issue nobody can accuse
us of neglecting. In the last four and a half years, no State
Government has spent as much resources and efforts to support the
federal controlled security agencies to fight crime and criminality
as this state.”
He then declared, “We have withdrawn all our support and
patronage for the NBA in Rivers State, including the promise to
support the hosting of the 2020 National Conference of the NBA in
Port Harcourt.”
The Governor said the State Government is as much concerned as
the NBA in Rivers on plight of her kidnapped member, adding that
security agencies are working to resolve the problem.
He scored Rivers State Judiciary low on dispensing with the
cases before them. urging them to reciprocate the investments by
the state on the judiciary by stepping up performance.

No Person Has Come to Pick Sowore- DSS
Spokesperson
The Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to confirm that it
has received the Court Order for the release of Omoyele SOWORE.
It is important that the public notes that since the receipt of
the Order, no person has turned up at the DSS to take delivery of
him. This becomes imperative for reasons of accountability.
However, the Court has been properly briefed on this development
and the steps being taken to ensure compliance with its Order.
The Service, under the leadership of Yusuf Magaji Bichi (fwc),
as the Director General, is not a lawless organization and will
never obstruct justice or disobey Court Orders. It, therefore,
affirms that it will do all that is needful once the appropriate
processes have been concluded.
