The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) is deeply saddened and outraged by the tragic murder of our esteemed colleague, Mr. Chinedu Nwowu, who was brutally killed in cold blood yesterday 22nd January, 2025, in Mgbidi, Imo State.
This heinous act is not only a grievous loss to his family, friends, and colleagues but also an assault on the legal profession and humanity. This unfortunate incident once again raises serious concerns about the security and safety of Citizens across the country.
The NBA unequivocally condemns this senseless act of violence and calls on the relevant security agencies to expedite their investigation and ensure that those responsible for this atrocious crime are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.

The Association remains resolute in working with the authorities to ensure that the legal profession continues to operate in an environment free from fear and intimidation.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mr. Chinedu Nwowu during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace.
