The independent investigative panel on the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other units of the Nigeria Police set up by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) today ordered the police to produce one Morris Ashwe, a victim of alleged enforced disappearance before it on February 24.
A brother to Ashwe, Raphael Ushahemba Ashwe, had petitioned the panel, alleging Morris’ enforced disappearance against the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Benue State and the IGP.
The petitioner told the panel that his brother was arrested by the IRT in Makurdi on May 1, 2018, adding that the family initially had access to his brother while he was being detained in the Benue State capital.
