Cancelling NBA conference over Deborah’s killing unjustified – Sokoto chairman

6th August 2022 Muhammad Nuhu 6th August 2022 The Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Sokoto State branch, Muhammad Nuhu, talks to ANIMASHAHUN SALMAN about the branch’s refusal to participate in the planned NBA-SPIDEL conference and why it demanded a refund of the fees paid by its members You wrote a letter to the leadership of the NBA expressing concerns over the planned NBA-SPIDEL conference scheduled to hold in Abuja.If what they (NBA) gave as the reason for the cancellation of the conference in Sokoto State is anything to go by, what can one say about Abuja?It is on record and no one can deny the fact that Sokoto State is far safer in terms of security compared to what is happening in Abuja now.The NBA should tell us any security breach in Sokoto State, apart from that Deborah Samuel case that warranted such treatment.

We have made our position known to them and nothing will change that as far as we are concerned in the Sokoto State branch.Everyone can testify to the fact that Sokoto State is a peaceful state.
