The police should leave no stone unturned to unravel the killers and bring them to book. Nothing more can emphasise the perilous times in the country than when a sitting judge in a citadel of law and justice no longer exudes fearsome charisma or respect or fear in the eyes of many. The times are tragic for a society in which a sitting judge dispensing justice in the temple of justice could be willfully murdered by a gang called unknown gunmen or hired assassins.
The gruesome murder of Ugboma in the temple of justice is highly condemnable. Not surprisingly, the murder has sparked outrage across the country, especially in Imo State. No serious country folds its hands and watch its judges and officers in the temple of justice being murdered.
The federal and state governments should take concrete measures in the forthcoming weeks to protect the lives of judges and lawyers, especially those serving. Judges and lawyers must not be made endangered species; they must be provided with security personnel both at their workplace and outside it. The NBA should collaborate with the government to devise effective measures to secure them while practising their trade.
While no measure can guarantee complete safety, especially given that the insecurity in the courts is a reflection of the general insecurity in Nigeria. In this regard, rather than concentrating on protecting judges and lawyers, the Federal Government cannot wish away the general insecurity in the country. Self-adulation cannot stamp out insecurity. It is only sincerity on the part of the government that can win the fight against insecurity.
