The NBA has vowed to take up the case, which it described as an affront to the body of lawyers.

Mr Gbagir said as a result of threat to shoot, he put a call across to the NBA national President, Olumide Akpata, to brief him of the development.

“He now ordered us to leave the place or he will call for our forceful eviction. I therefore, told him that we were not even in their premises since they did not allow us on their premises and they have no legal right to force us out of where we were standing. As the said personnel returned back to their premises, some lawyers joined me and we all stood across their office, waiting.

“Infuriated, the AG, SG and SSA to the Governor also walked out of the premises and the AG met with I and other lawyers, including the DPP, who were outside that we should leave.”“I went to Federal Medical Centre at Atiku Abubakar Road, Wadata, Makurdi, but they told me to go to their main Centre at Apir. As a result of the severe pains, I could not start going to the FMC Apir which is at the outskirts of Makurdi. I then decided to come to BSUTH where I was admitted and is receiving treatment.

“The standard procedure for effecting the release of suspects in detention is known to even rookie lawyers. But rather than follow due process, Gbagir opted for force, recruited thugs and stormed the EFCC office.
