The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has condemned the killing of the Chairman of Ejemekwuru Customary Court in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State Nnaemeka Ugboma.

This was disclosed on Friday, in a statement by the president of the Association, Yakubu Chnoko Maikyau, SAN, OON.

Ugboma was murdered on Thursday afternoon by yet to be identified assailants in the premises of Ejemekwuru Customary Court in cold blood and in full glare of other court users.

According to eyewitness’s account, Mr. Ugboma had just finished conducting proceedings when his murderers came in their numbers, collected the phones of everyone present, rounded up Mr. Ugboma and shot him in the head.

NBA noted with dismay that “the cruel murder of Nnaemeka Ugboma is the latest in a series of deadly attacks on innocent persons including legal practitioners and judges in what has become a disturbing norm in Imo State.

“The NBA therefore calls on the Government of Imo State to be more deliberate about the security of lives and properties in the state and to particularly beef up security in and around all the court buildings in the State.”
