An Adamawa High Court on Thursday ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to release three detained members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with immediate effect. Justice Christopher Dominic Mapeo of the court directed the secret police, DSS to release the trio unconditionally, stressing that "further detention is illegal."
Leonard Nzadon, counsel for members of the Peoples Democratic Party accused of assaulting an officer of Nigeria’s secret police, Department of State Services in Adamawa State, has said operatives of the agency threatened to break the leg of his colleague who tried to serve them court papers. The detained PDP members have approached the court to seek the enforcement of their fundamental human right to liberty. The applicants, Yusuf Mohammed, Zira John and Solomon Abafras, claimed that they have been held in a DSS detention facility for over seven days without trial.
The minister also advised the council members to refrain from interfering in the day-to-day running of the universities as their duties do not entail such.
