JUST IN: Justice Chioma Iheme Nwosu Of Court Of Appeal Regains Freedom From Abductors

Justice Chioma Iheme Nwosu regains freedom after 15 days of
abduction by unknown gunmen.

The Chairman of Owerri branch, D.O Nosike, on Wednesday,
disclosed the good news of her release, stating “Good
evening Learned Silks, distinguished seniors and colleagues. It’s
with a joyful heart and praises to God Almighty, that I announce to
us all that my Lord, Hon. Justice Chioma Nwosu-Iheme has been
released. I thank God Almighty, and all of us, for our
steadfastness, support, and prayers. I wish to thank the State
Government especially, for her immeasurable assistance. Good night
all and God bless.”

As at the time of filing this report, TheNigerialawyer is yet to
ascertain if any ransom was paid to secure her release.

TheNigerialawyer reported that Hon. Justice Nwosu Iheme of the
Court Of Appeal, Benin City, Edo state was on the 29th of October,
kidnapped by daredevil and violent gunmen in Benin City on her way
to court.

Recall also that the President of the Nigerian Bar Association,
Paul Usoro, SAN has been on this case calling on  Federal
government and security agencies to ensure that Justice Chioma
Iheme is released unconditionally.

The NBA Benin and Owerri also did not relent in their efforts to
see that she is released.

The branches went as far as boycotting courts calling for her
release.

A very senior lawyer and rights activist Chief Mike Ozekhome
(SAN), passionately appealed to the abductors of Justice Chioma
Iheme-Nwosu of the Court of Appeal in Benin City, to release her
unhurt.

The Eshi of Nkwerre (traditional ruler of Nkwerre ancient
kingdom) and Deputy Chairman, Imo State Council of Traditional
Rulers, Eze Chijioke Okwara and her kinsmen appealed to the Federal
Government and the security agencies to do everything within their
powers to rescue their daughter, Justice Chioma Iheme-Nwosu from
her abductors.
