Confirming the ugly incident to our reporter in a telephone interview, the publicity secretary of the association, Boniface Iorkumbo, said the abductors stormed the resident of their victim at the “early hours of today and made away with our colleague.”

According to him, the kidnappers, some of them whom he said gained access to the compound “through the fence” demanded for “money from him” before taking him away. Though not certain if they succeeded in collecting money from him before abducting him, but as stated by him ” it is assumed he gave them the money they demanded for”

Even though the incident have been reported to the police and other security outfits by the association, a call has as well been made to all members of the bar irrespective of religious affiliations to fervently indulge in prayer and fasting to ensure his immediate release unhurt.

The association who described Ubandoma on their facebook page as “someone that is well loved at the bar and has contributed immensely to the growth of the Bar in Jalingo” passionately called on his abductors to “release him for the sake of his wife,children and the entire Bar.”
