A grandmother, Maria Ezediaro on Thursday, April 21, 2022, regained her freedom one year after her arrest by agents of the Intelligence Response Team of the Nigeria Police Force hitherto led by the suspended DCP Abba Kyari in Imo State.
She was said to have been consequently detained at the IRT’s dreaded abattoir facility on allegation of supporting Nnamdi Kanu and being a member of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
A statement issued by Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the Head of the legal team of the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, said following the application for the enforcement of her fundamental human rights filed on her behalf before a Federal High Court in Abuja, “she was hurriedly charged to court on frivolous and smokescreen charge by the infamous IRT.”
He said, “This step was clearly targeted at truncating the Fundamental Human Rights suit we filed to compel her release.
“Nevertheless, the long arm of the law has finally caught up with those monsters in uniform as the Federal High Court proceeded to hear our suit on the merit and consequently, directed for her unconditional release.
“Damages were equally awarded against the suspended DCP Abba Kyari together with his disbanded outfit, for the gross violation of Mrs. Ezediaro’s fundamental rights.”
