I, Dr. Muiz Adeyemi Banire, use this medium, in my private capacity, to deplore the recent incontinent wave of kidnapping in our dear country Nigeria. The recent and most bloody kidnapping of Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, in Edo state, is quite alarming and frightening. It is a confirmation of the truism in the aphorism that the death of a relative is an assertion of one’s own mortality. It is a most condemnable incident that we must all rise up to stop.
We had not finished nursing the wounds inflicted on the national psyche by the most unfortunate kidnap of the wife and daughter of the Hon. Justice Bode Rhodes Vivour and the accompanying dent on our national image when the souless traders of human frredom and death abducted Chief Ozekhome and senselessly killed four Policemen in the process. How long do we continue like this with the insensitive Boko Haram plague still a noose around our neck?
I use this opportunity to encourage our security operatives not to relent on their oars. I also call on all Nigerians to provide relevant information to security agencies on suspicious persons in their areas in order to assist security agents in their task of fishing out the criminals. I must also appeal to kidnappers in our midst to immediately release Chief Ozekhome and other Nigerians in their illegal detention and desist from such irresponsible business of living on the cries and blood of inncoent Nigerians
Thanks
Dr. Muiz Adeyemi Banire
