Last weekend (week ending 11th May, 2013) the nation woke up with rude shock-arising from the abduction by gunmen, of the wife, daughter and driver of an eminent judicial officer, a Justice of the Supreme Court. Most men and women of goodwill including Dame Carol Ajie, Festus Kayamo and Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, the 'Akpakpa VighiVighi' of a famous kingdom and human rights crusader, issued a statement condemning in very strong terms, the brazen challenge to the security of  Justice Rhodes-Vivour's family. I too must lend my voice to the rising threat to the security of judicial officers. To mention but a few incidents, a well respected Judge of the Imo State Judiciary was kidnapped on his way to work a few years ago.
.
Subsequently, a Judge of the Delta State Judiciary suffered the same ignominy.

Kidnapping that happen more often is a bad thing Nigeria must do without. It seems like that's the only thing Nigerians do now.
