Mairiga Hassan Shaharu Released After Unlawful Detention By Fct Minister

Following our late-night intervention and nationwide outcry, Mairiga Hassan Shaharu, a staff member of the FCDA who was illegally detained on the orders of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has been released by the Nigeria Police Force after it was revealed that the detention warrant obtained to detain him was forged.

The detention, facilitated through Wike’s CSO, ACP Mohammed Iya Musa, was a blatant attempt to cover up criminal land-grabbing activities and silence legitimate whistleblowing.

We commend the courage of Nigerians who stood up in condemnation of this abuse of power. Mr. Mairiga has since been taken to the Head of Service at the FCDA, where he is to be issued a query and given 72 hours to respond.

We are closely monitoring the situation to ensure that Mr. Mairiga’s rights are not further violated by his superiors.

We will continue to resist tyranny and ensure the liberation of our country.

Special thanks to the roving, indomitable, ever mobile legal patrol crew of last night, attorneys Rosemary Hamza and Ak Musa.

Thank you all for standing firm! #RevolutionNow
