Nyada Auta, a prominent figure in the legal profession, expressed deep distress and sorrow over the kidnapping and subsequent murder. In a statement released today, Auta condemned the heinous act and urgently called upon security agencies to intervene and secure the unconditional release of Mrs. Janet Galadima and her remaining children.
Auta emphasized that this incident highlights the alarming deterioration of the security apparatus in the country, which has left the legal profession particularly vulnerable. He urged the authorities to take decisive action beyond mere press statements and bring the perpetrators to justice.
“This state of lawlessness and cruelty must be confronted head-on,” Auta stated. “The authorities of our dear country must actively combat these criminals, ensuring they are punished to the fullest extent of the law. No society deserves to harbor such elements within its midst.”
Auta called upon lawyers across the country to join in prayer for the safe return of Mrs. Janet Galadima and her children, as well as to offer support to her husband and family members who are undoubtedly going through immense anguish and trauma.
The legal community is rallying behind the call for swift action by security agencies to secure the release of Mrs. Janet Galadima and her remaining children. Auta emphasized that the security and well-being of legal professionals must be a top priority and vowed not to rest until these heinous acts are addressed with the urgency and resolve they deserve.
As the nation awaits further developments in this distressing case, the thoughts and prayers of the entire legal fraternity remain with Mrs. Janet Galadima, her family, and all those affected by this terrible tragedy.
