Gunmen Abduct Customary Court President In Edo
The President of Igueben Area Customary Court, Mrs Precious Aigbonoga, was on Monday abducted by gunmen, around Ugoneki axis, on her way to Court in Igueben Local Government Area (LGA) of Edo.
This is coming less than 12 hours when a former Edo State House of Assembly member, Festus Edughele, was kidnapped in the same axis.
Recall that 32 persons were abducted in the same axis on Saturday while waiting to board a train to Warri in Delta State.
The Chairman of the Lion Bar, Chief Nosa Edo-Osagie, in a statement by Mr Festus Usiobaifo, the Publicity Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Benin branch, expressed sadness over the abduction.
Edo-Osagie, while condemning the act in strong terms, expressed worry over bandits operation in the area and kidnapping of Aigbonoga, who he described as an easygoing, gentle, and hardworking judicial officer.
“Meanwhile, the Dream Team is in close touch with the Commissioner of Police, C.P. Mohammed Adamu Dankwara; by the grace of God Almighty, His Honour shall be rescued unhurt, and the bandits brought to book, Amen!,” he said.
