Bwari (FCT) –  Bomb threats has caused a shift in the venue of this year’s Call to the Bar programme from Bwari to the International Conference Centre (ICC).

Mr Chinedu Ukekwe, the Head of Information, Nigerian Law School, Bwari, confirmed that the venue of the ceremony had been shifted from the school to ICC in Abuja in an interview in Bwari on Monday.

He said the change of venue was initiated by the management of the school to ensure the security of lives.

Ukekwe noted that “there are many porous gardens within the premises of the school and such gardens could deter security.’’

He added that the Call to Bar programmes had always been in Bwari “but the issue of insecurity in the country has changed the location.’’

The head of information said that the level of insecurity in the country was a thing of major concern to every citizen.

Sources from the school, who preferred anonymity further spoke with NAN, saying it was revealed that the school got information from unknown persons that they would attack the school.

ASP Mohammed Umar, the DPO of Bwari was not available to comment on the issue.

The Call to the Bar programme will take place on Oct. 5 at the ICC. (NAN)
