Abducted Bayelsa High Court Judge

Abducted Bayelsa High Court Judge, Justice Ebiyerin Omukoro has regained freedom after 12 days in captivity.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the abducted serving judge of the Bayelsa State High Court, Justice Ebiyerin Omukoro, has regained his freedom after spending 12 days in captivity.

 

It was gathered that Justice Omukoro was kidnapped on the evening of Saturday, 21st June 2025, at Kilimanjaro Eatery, opposite Ekeki Park, shortly after returning from a trip to Warri, Delta State.

 

Though he was released on Thursday, further details surrounding the conditions of his freedom remain sketchy at the time of filing this report as authorities and the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, have not yet issued a formal statement.

The Yenagoa Branch of NBA, a few days before his release, disclosed that security agencies had made progress in tracking the abductors of Justice Omukoro through “digital footprints.”

 

However, there had been no direct contact from the kidnappers throughout the period.

 

The judge was said to have been taken by masked gunmen at Kilimanjaro Eatery in Yenagoa, not far from a nearby police station. Eyewitnesses reportedly mistook the incident for a security operation.

 

Responding, the NBA declared a court boycott across Bayelsa State, describing the abduction as an attack on the judiciary, raising concerns about the security of judicial officers and urged authorities to act swiftly.
