On behalf of my family, I condole with the family, friends and members of NBA Portharcourt branch on the demise of our colleague Mr. Soalabor West who, as we were told, met his end at the hands of suspected Bandits in Rivers State.

This untimely death could have been averted if the government had lived up to her primary responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of her citizenry.

May his soul and the souls of the others who lost their life in this incident find eternal rest in the bosom of the Lord, Amen!

Mrs. Joyce Oduah
National Treasurer, NBA 2012-2014
