Nigerian Bar Association, Warri branch, Delta State, on Thursday instructed its members to boycott all courts in the state until the release of Marcel Okoh, a High Court Judge. In a communique after a meeting of the executive body of the NBA in Warri, the lawyers said they would not return to the courts until the judge is released.

“We consider this wicked and criminal act as an affront to the state as it is unimaginable that hoodlums could contemplate on abducting a person as a highly respected High Court judge.

“Regrettably, judges and their relatives have had more than a fair share of this unwarranted and shameful situation with the government and its security agencies being unable to do anything about it.”
