BRIEF HISTORY OF ARRESTS
1. Ikechukwu Henry - A father of a 4 months old baby at the time of arrest and a husband was arrested alongside his wife and the baby by members of the Nigerian Army at about 2am from their residence at Akwuke Akwnano, Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State on the 23 August 2021.
He was detained at the military police detention room in Enugu until the 1 September, 2021 when he was moved with a military Air force jet Dunia to Abuja and kept in the counter intelligence command under the chief of military intelligence, Brigade General Onoja and as at 23rd December, 2021 he was in cell 5 of the counter intelligence command.
He has not been allowed access to his lawyers and family members who led to the family instituting a case at the Federal High Court sitting in Enugu before Hon Justice Buba I. N. see annexture 1.
His lordship on 23 March, 2022 ordered the Nigerian Army to produce Ikechukwu Henry before him on the next adjourned date being 25th March, 2022 sees annexure 2.
On the 30th March, 2022, the Nigerian Army filed a counter affidavit deposed to by one Lt. Col, Chidi Egbom informing the court that Ikechukwu Henry was transferred to the custody of State Security Services consequent upon which the state security services was made a party in the suit. See annexure 3
The state security services filed a counter affidavit denying that they have or received Ikechukwu Henry into its custody. See annexure 4.
The court consequently made an order for oral evidence to be taken so as to clear the difference in the deposition of both the Nigerian Army and the state security service.
Both parties appeared in court on the 21 June, 2022 and each party, the SSS and the Army, maintained their positions. Despite the various opportunities given to the Nigerian Army to prove that it indeed transferred Ikechukwu Henry to the state security service, they could not till date and the matter has been adjourned for judgment. Till date, Ikechukwu Henry's whereabouts is unknown.
2. JOY GODWIN UDOH (IDARA GOLD) This 20 years old lady went to celebrate her birth day with her fiancée when officers of the state security services stormed the fiancée's house in search of the fiancée Mazi Chuks Egwuatu. She was arrested alongside all the siblings of her fiancée.
While her fiancées siblings were released after about 5 days in detention; she was transferred to Abuja office of the state security services on the 16th day of November, 2022.
Joy Godwin Udoh's offence was that she dressed in a certain coloured dress for her birthday and the state security service concluded that such coloured dress was advertising and influencing for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). See annexure 5.
Joy Godwin Udoh like the others before and after her in this report was transferred to a military holding cell without an order of court and contrary to all known laws in Nigeria.
The Federal High Court presided over by Hon. Justice Maha deprecated the action of the state security service and ordered that JOY GODWIN UDOH be allowed access to her lawyers and family members but despite the order of court the state security service have consistently failed to allow us, her lawyers, family members, access to her. See judgment of court attached as annexure
