Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and Africa Judges and Jurists Forum (AJJF) have condemned the abduction of Justice Faruku Hassan Bunza of the Kebbi State High Court, describing the incident as a grave assault on the judiciary, the rule of law, and Nigeria’s constitutional democracy.
Bunza was, reportedly, abducted by suspected armed bandits from his residence in Bunza Local Government Area of Kebbi State during the early hours of July 26, 2026.
Reacting to the incident in separate statements issued yesterday, NBA and AJJF called on Nigerian security agencies to deploy every lawful and available resource to ensure the judge’s immediate and unconditional release.
