Human rights organisations under the umbrella of the South-East/South-South Civil Society Forum have condemned in very strong terms the alleged torture and unlawful detention of a Rivers-based activist, Remi Izuchukwu. Izuchukwu was arrested on August 31, 2022, by soldiers of the Nigerian Army stationed at the Oyigbo-Express junction, on the Port Harcourt-Aba Expressway. The rights groups while demanding an in-depth investigation into the matter, called on the military authorities to caution Sergeant Peter Atuluku.

Rights Groups Condemn Alleged Torture, Unlawful Detention Of Activist, Izuchukwu By Nigerian Soldiers, Condemn Extortion, Harassment Of Rivers Community Business OwnersThe rights groups while demanding an in-depth investigation into the matter, called on the military authorities to caution Sergeant Peter Atuluku.

The rights groups while demanding an in-depth investigation into the matter, called on the military authorities to caution Sergeant Peter Atuluku. He said the activists had only demanded the unconditional release of some innocent young men randomly arrested and detained by military men. According to him, the military men had tagged the men as internet fraudsters, also called ‘Yahoo Boys’, just to extort money from them.

Therefore, the groups called on the “General Officer Commanding , 2 Artillery Brigade, Bori Camp, Port Harcourt, to not only withdraw and replace Sergeant Peter Atuluku and his team but to investigate the matter and dish out appropriate discipline to serve as a deterrent to others”. Allegedly, the soldiers subsequently ordered that Izuchukwu should be stripped naked and detained in a shop seized from a trader and used as a cell by the soldiers.

Ndu noted that while the traders are not asking law enforcement agents not to do their job, security personnel should also allow businesses to thrive in the area.
