This was made known in a press release issued by Ayo Ademiluyi, the Director of Media, Strategy, Publicity and Communications of ProgressiveBar2020.
The news of the release was made available in a press statement by D.O NOSIKE ESQ. , Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association, Owerri Branch, which narrated thus:
'Good evening Learned Silks, distinguished seniors and colleagues. It's with a joyful heart and praises to God Almighty ,that I announce to us all that my Lord, Hon. Justice Chioma Nwosu-Iheme has been released. I thank God Almighty, and all of us, for our steadfastness, support and prayers. I wish to thank the State Government specially, for her immeasurable assistance. Good night all and God bless".
Mr. Ogunlana saluted in no particular order the ebullience of Benin (Lion Bar) and Owerri Branches, the national leadership of the Bar and the entire Bar for initiating series of actions including but not limited to court boycotts among others to put pressure on the appropriate authorities to act.
He reiterated the need for the Bench to mutually replicate the passionate empathy the Bar displays for the travails of the Bench. He called on the Bench to stand with the Bar in similar periods of agony.
Mr. Ogunlana called for such mutual solidarity in the matter of the Branches of the Nigerian Bar Association in Rivers 'State , who are being misconceived by the Executive Governor, Mr. Nyesiom Wike as being intransigent for threatening to withdraw legal representation for suspects of kidnapping. He raised the need for the Bench in the State to intervene to clarify the good intentions of the Bar in Rivers State.
Mr. Ogunlana restated his #RadicalAgenda for the Nigerian Bar Association to deepen the combativeness of the Bar to engage appropriate authorities on all issues ranging from kidnapping, insecurity, violation of fundamental rights, breach of constitutional provisions and attacks on the rule of law.
