Civic Societies, Lawyers Demand Immediate Release Of Detained Activist, Nonso Nkwa From Nigerian Police Detention

A Coalition of 30 Civil Society Organisations across the country has called on the Nigeria Police Force to immediately release detained human rights defender, Comrade Chinonso Uba popularly called Nonso Nkwa or charge him to court. The coalition decried the detention of Nkwa for more than four days without access to his family and lawyer, a development they said is against the constitutional provisions of Nigeria, the Police Act, and the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
