Olumide Akpata the President of the Nigerian Bar Association has made an emotional revelation.

Akpata recounts how a female lawyer was abducted in front of her loved ones at gun point in a post that reads…

Last night, I received reports that Paulette Bisola Ajayi, a lawyer and daughter of Ngozi Kathryn Ajayi (also a lawyer) was abducted at gunpoint (by at least 4 men dressed in combat fatigues and dark t-shirts) in front of her home in Rumukurushi PH, as she was waiting for her gate to be opened.

Her mother and others who tried to prevent her from being taken away were brutalised and shot at by these men who eventually dragged Bisola out of her car and took her away in their own car…a white Toyota Venza.

The increasing spate of such incidents is indeed disheartening. I have spoken to Bisola’s mother to assure her of our support and assistance towards the rescue of her daughter. I have also spoken to the Governor of Rivers State, the Attorney-General of Rivers State and the Rivers State Police Command to request their assistance in ensuring the safe return of our colleague. I have also set up a Task Force to collaborate with the relevant authorities and do all that is possible to see to Bisola’s speedy release.

She will also remain in our prayers.
