Amnesty International urged the Nigerian security forces Friday to
disclose the whereabouts of a man who was arrested after tweeting
pictures of an attempted jail break at the headquarters of the
intelligence agency.
“Nigerian security forces should immediately disclose the whereabouts and legal status of Yusuf Siyaka Onimisi,” said the rights group’s Netsanet Belay in a statement.
“If he is in detention, the Nigerian authorities must either charge him with a recognisable criminal offence or release him immediately,” Amnesty said.
The attempted jail break at the headquarters of the Directorate of State Services on March 30 sparked a gun battle that killed 21 detainees, the intelligence agency said.
