President Muhammadu Buhari has released three suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) arrested on February 27, 2020.
The trio were arrested by soldiers at the Imo River community in Abia State and detained at the 14 Brigade Nigerian Army Ohafia.
Meanwhile, in a statement on Wednesday night, Amnesty International urged the government to provide information about the status of other victims of enforced disappearance and incommunicado detention.
“Amnesty International urges Nigerian authorities to provide information about the status of other victims of enforced disappearance and incommunicado detention, grant their families and lawyers access to them, charge them to court, or release them in the absence of any legal authority used to justify their continued detention,” the statement read in part.
Spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, did not take calls nor responded to WhatsApp and text messages from Punch on Wednesday night.
