Anambra NBA Demands Probe After Lawyer's Assault by Ocha Brigade in Awka
The Anambra branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has condemned the alleged assault on lawyer Charl Ifeanyi by the Ocha Brigade in Awka, Anambra State. The incident occurred at a popular market in Awka, where Ifeanyi was reportedly brutalized by the enforcement agency.
The NBA has called on the Anambra State Government and relevant agencies to investigate the assault, which was captured in a video showing Ifeanyi being dragged by the Ocha Brigade's vehicle. The lawyer's human rights were reportedly violated as he was denied access to legal representation and threatened with unjust detention by the brigade.
