Apart from the killing of Odume, a former chairman of the Owerri branch of NBA, Ndionyenma Nwankwo, was on February 7, found dead in his office in Owerri, the state capital.
A lawyer, Ephraim Anthony, told our correspondent that the lawyers were saddened by the killing of their colleagues. He regretted that six months after Nwankwo was murdered in his office, the security operatives had yet to uncover the mystery behind the dastardly act. He said, “Our former chairman was in February murdered in cold blood in his office. Why we were still mourning that painful and irreplaceable loss, our colleague, Darlington Odume, a very promising lawyer was again killed.
” We are saying enough is enough. Lawyers shouldn’t be seen as enemies. We work for humanity. We should be protected and not killed. We want the security agencies to unravel the circumstances behind these killings and bring the perpetrators to justice.”
