Similarly, in Benue State, the NBA mourned the brutal murder of its member, Barrister Mike Efikwu, who was killed by gunmen at his residence in Otukpo. In response, NBA members across the state staged peaceful protests and boycotted court sessions to demand justice and an end to the cycle of violence.
The NBA has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in the security sector, particularly in Plateau State, to address the root causes of the violence and to ensure the protection of citizens' lives and properties.
The association also urged the Federal Government to adopt a holistic approach to security, emphasizing the need for inter-agency cooperation, intelligence sharing, and targeted interventions tailored to the unique challenges of each region.
