September 16th, 2024
Abuja, Nigeria – The House of Representatives Committee on Navy has announced plans to investigate the unlawful detention of Seaman Abbas Haruna. The naval officer was allegedly detained for nearly six years on the orders of Brigadier General MS Adamu.
Haruna’s wife, Mrs. Hussaina Iliyasu, revealed the ordeal on the human rights television program “Berekete.” According to her, the incident occurred in 2018 during a joint operation in Sarti Baruwa, Taraba state.
