The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum (AYCF) has condemned in strong terms the torture and unlawful incarceration of Seaman Haruna Abbas, who has been held captive for six years.
According to AYCF President General Yerima Shettima, the case is a “gross violation of human rights” and demands the immediate release of Mr. Abbas.
Recent revelations by Mr. Abbas’s wife, Hassana Abbas, exposed the cruelty and injustice suffered by her husband at the hands of Brigadier General Muhammad S. Adamu and other individuals complicit.
AYCF unequivocally condemned the actions of Brigadier General Muhammad S. Adamu and all those involved in the wrongful conviction, unjust incarceration, and subsequent torture.
The group demanded accountability for all individuals implicated in this egregious violation of justice.
AYCF also called for the establishment of transparent mechanisms for reviewing cases of alleged wrongful detention.
Especially those involving military personnel who continue to suffer in silence while their rights are trampled upon.
The plight of Seaman Abbas should serve as a rallying cry for all Nigerians who value justice and human rights.
His story is emblematic of a broader systemic issue that affects many citizens who fall prey to arbitrary detention and abuse of power.
AYCF reiterated its unwavering support for Seaman Abbas and his family.
The group vowed to continue advocating for all those who have been wronged by systems intended to serve and protect them.
Until justice is served, and the perpetrators of such heinous crimes are brought to their rightful place before the law.
AYCF urged human rights organizations, legal advocates, and civil society to join them in this fight for justice.
The collective voices of concerned citizens can foster a culture of accountability and transparency in our institutions.
The time to act is now; justice for Seaman Haruna Abbas is not just a demand but a moral imperative that we must uphold for humanity, dignity, and the rule of law.
