    Reps Vow To Probe Illegal Detention Of Naval Rating, Abbas Haruna, For Six Years

    The House of Representatives has vowed to investigate the six-year illegal detention of a naval rating, Abbas Haruna.

    This position was taking through a statement by the chairman of House of Representatives Committee on Navy, Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, on Monday.
    Haruna was allegedly detained on the instruction of Brigadier General MS Adamu.

    The statement stressed that the committee is determined to ensure that all those involved in the case face the full consequences of their actions.

    Gagdi explained, “The ordeal of Seaman Abbas, as narrated by his wife, Hussaina Iliyasu, on ‘Berekete’, a Human Rights Television programme, began in 2018 when he was assigned to a joint operation in Sarti Baruwa, Taraba State, under the command of Brigadier MS Adamu.

    However, a misunderstanding arose between them, leading to his detention in inhumane conditions for several years without a proper trial, as required by the Armed Forces Act 2004, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.

    “The inhumane treatment inflicted on the naval personnel over a minor disagreement with his superior army officer moved many in the studio to tears as the wife recounted her husband’s ordeal. The cruelty exhibited by Brigadier General MS Adamu towards his subordinate has drawn widespread condemnation from millions of Nigerians who have heard the story.

    “The heartbreaking account of Seaman Abbas Haruna aired on ‘Berekete’, has prompted the House of Representatives Committee on Navy to intervene to uncover the truth, preserve the integrity of our military and safeguard the rights of every individual under the laws of the land.

    “Furthermore, there is a need to identify all officers involved and engage with the military hierarchy to ensure that anyone responsible for the gross violation of Seaman Abbas’ rights is held accountable.”
