PRESS RELEASE
We refer to our earlier press release dated January 20th 2026 in which the Nnamdi Ralph Anagor led administration reported the unfortunate and unprovoked assault on Barr. Charles Ifeanyi by members of the Ocha Brigade while calling the attention of the Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo led administration to the brazen recklessness and illegality.
At the time, we expressed deep concern over the incident and the lack of an immediate official response as well as the absence of meaningful engagement from the leadership of the Ocha Brigade with our branch. Notwithstanding these initial setbacks, deliberate and sustained efforts were undertaken to ensure that justice would be pursued. These steps were not only aimed at addressing the wrong done but also at serving as a deterrent against any recurrence of such acts of lawlessness.
We write to inform the bar that progress has been made. One of the ocha brigade officials involved in the assault, Mr Ibeto Wisdom Onyebuchi was arrested on the 24th of April 2026 and formally charged to court on the same day with Charge No:MAW/108c/2026 which led to his remand in prison custody till 8th of May 2026. This development marks a significant step toward accountability and justice.
We commend the Nigeria Police Force for its professionalism and support in facilitating this outcome. Their role has been instrumental in ensuring that the rule of law is upheld. We also commend the Human Rights committee of the branch for their dedication & commitment to ensuring justice took its course.
We remain resolute in our commitment to seeing that the rest of the individuals involved in this brazen act are identified, apprehended and brought to justice. No effort will be spared in pursuing this objective.
The bar will be kept informed of further developments as they unfold.
Signed:
