The Nigerian Bar Association in Benin, Edo State, has condemned the killing of its member, Efe Idahosa, by kidnappers in Ondo State.
Idahosa was said to be returning from the Achievers University in Owo, Ondo State, when he got struck down by a stray bullet from a gang of kidnappers last Thursday.
The NBA’s publicity secretary in the state, Festus Usiobaifo, while lamenting the level of insecurity in the country, described Idahosa as a promising colleague.
Usiobaifo, in a statement on Monday, said, “The Dream Team is sad to inform the public that our colleague, Efe Idahosa (Esq) has transited to the world beyond.
He said, “It was gathered from available information that the promising lawyer was killed by a stray bullet from an aggressive kidnapping gang while in a commercial vehicle returning from Ondo State to his base in Benin City, on Thursday, June 22, 2023.
“The Benin Bar chairman, Chief Nosa Edo-Osagie, while bemoaning the level of insecurity in Nigeria, has described the news of the death of Mr Efe (Idahosa) as a rude shock, and wonders why a young man so promising would be violently forced to take a premature exit by the unrepentant enemy of life. It is indeed a difficult time for Nigerians.”
