NBA Calls for Release of Pastor Detained Over Alleged Wike Assassination Plot

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has called for the immediate release or formal charging of Pastor Tombari Joseph Gbeneol by the River State Command of the Nigeria Police Force. Gbeneol was detained over an alleged plot to assassinate Governor Nyesom Wike, with leaked phone conversations also implicating former government officials.

The NBA expressed concern over Gbeneol's prolonged detention without formal charges, citing constitutional breaches. The situation remains tense as investigations continue in Rivers State.
