The Rivers State Police Command said on Monday it had begun search for the abducted former President of the Nigeria Bar Association, Okey Wali (SAN).
DSP Ahmad Muhammad, the spokesman of the command, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, that Wali, the immediate past president of the NBA, was abducted on Saturday.
Muhammad said information available to the police showed that Wali was trailed by his abductors before being seized and taken away.
“As soon as the police got the information of the abduction of the ex-NBA president, we quickly swung into action where his vehicle was recovered along Ozuoba water front,” he said.
Muhammad said the police were on the trail of the kidnappers to rescue Wali safely and apprehend the abductors.
