The Akwa Ibom Human Rights Community has joined in the numerous calls for the timely release of Barrister Inibehe Effiong, who had been sentenced to 30 days jail term for contempt of court.

The National Coordinator of the group, Barrister Clifford Thomas, in a statement on Monday, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, frowned at the CJ’s summary decision to jail the lawyer, adding that his group was working with the Nigeria Bar Association and other concerned Civil Society Organisations to step up reconciliatory efforts towards his release.
