“High profile kidnappings are not targeted at the Bar specifically. If there are anything that has happened on our side be rest assured that it is not deliberate not to provide protection for you people. It is our responsibility to protect every citizen of this country.
“If there are lapses in the past I would like to assure you that things are beginning to improve
