About 102 out of 112 residents of the Obigbo local area in Rivers State illegally arrested and detained by the Nigerian Army in different facilities have been released.
The 102 residents of the area were taken from their homes during a military crackdown on LGA between November and December 2020 and detained at the Army Commando Base in Suleja, Niger State.
Out of the 112 residents taken, four had died while six others were still unaccounted for.
International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, in a statement on Wednesday, said the residents have not been charged to court nor given a fair trial.
The statement added that the families and lawyers of most of the victims had not been allowed to see them to date.
The group said: “The 112 mostly Igbo civilian residents of Obigbo residency have for almost nine months remained in the Nigerian Army’s Alpha Military Commando Base located along Bida-Suleja Road, Bida in Niger State. They have also been held secretly without administrative or court bail.
“Following the discovery of some secret locations where the abductees were taken to and held, in addition to public and media outcries and efforts of Barrister Richard Okoroafor, Intersociety and leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, 283 were judicially rescued and over 270 have remained in secret custody of the Nigerian Army.”
The group gave the names of the deceased persons as: Ekweme Thomas, Pius Onochie, Obinna Akapuru and Monday Ifeanyi
It added that the remaining persons unaccounted for are: Iwuoma Bright, Ochi Jacob, Nwakaego Ibe, Ebube Kelvin and Elvis Chigbu
The group gave the names of the 102 abducted Obigbo residents released recently as.
