The Nigerian Bar Association has slammed the Minister of Defence, Major-General Bashir Magashi (retd.), over his call on Nigerians to defend themselves against gun-wielding bandits and kidnappers.
The NBA described such call as “a sign of failure” on the part of regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
It also urged the Inspector-General of the Nigeria Police to investigate all the circumstances surrounding the murder of a pregnant Warri-based lawyer, Nkiru Agbasu, who was reportedly shot dead by yet-to-be identified gunmen along Warri-Sapele Highway in Delta State on Wednesday.
The NBA made the call shortly after an emergency meeting of the Warri Branch of the association held on Friday to deliberate over the killing of one of its own.
