ZAINAB KISHIMI ESQ, JALINGO VICE CHAIRPERSON RELEASED BY ABDUCTORS.

We have just been inundated of the cheering news of the release of the vice chairperson of the Jalingo Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association.

To confirm its authenticity, the director of Taraba Lawyers media put a call across to her to which she responded that she was released at around 12:00am this morning by those criminal elements.

We deeply appreciate all and sundry from the National Bar to individuals who called, sympathized and prayed for her release as we once again use this medium to call on the state government to intensify more effort in ensuring that the entire state is rid of these criminals as they seem to be reinforcing and gaining ground in their deeds in the state, for the constitutional responsibility of the security of the lives of individuals lies with her.

Once again, thank you all.
