Mr. Abubakar said the delegation has also been directed to take care of the welfare of the indigenes among the detainees in Abia.
“We directed the team to secure their release, if they were not found guilty of any offence and bring them back home.
“We will not accept a situation where the fundamental human rights of our innocent citizens are infringed upon.
“The committee has been directed to immediately report back its findings to the government for necessary and appropriate action,’’ Mr. Abubakar said.
About 486 persons were arrested recently in Abia by security operatives.
Security sources had told NE that 87 of them are suspected to be insurgents, and are being investigated.

ReplyDeleteHypocrites!!! Today you considered the detention of suspects an infringement of fundamental human rights. The purported objective of Boko Haram group to compulsorily subject Nigerians to islamic and sharia government isn t an infringement on the fundamental rights of our innocent citizens.
