Aishat Oyiza, the wife of Ibrahim Fari Shafiu, one of the persons arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) at Trademore Estate at Lugbe Abuja in October, is begging for the release of her husband after 31 days in detention.

Aishat said she has not been given access to see or talk to her husband and her brother since they were arrested in October.

She lamented that since her husband’s arrest and detention, the DSS has not taken him to court or given him access to a lawyer.

Aishat said her National Youth Service Corps programme has been put on hold due to the incident.

She lamented that her brother, Yusuf Abdulrahman, a business administration student of Nasarawa Polytechnic, who was also taken away by the security operatives, has been missing out on his studies.

She accused Kogi State government of been responsible for the abduction of her husband. Noting that the only people her husband had a problem with is the Kogi State Governor and his Chief of Staff.

Aishat, explained that her husband organised a program recently tagged ‘Say No to Violence in Egbira Land’. After the program, he started receiving threats from Kogi State Government, after which he defected to PDP.

She said, “I have not been able to see or talk to my husband and my brother since they were arrested 26 days ago. They have refused to take them to court or give them access to a lawyer.

“On the 3rd of November 2022, Abu Muazu Esq of F. S. Jimba & Co went to inquire about them and he was told by the DSS officials that they are going to call for family or lawyer to come and bail them from Friday, November 4, 2022 to Monday, November 7, 2022.

“So on Monday, I went with the lawyer to the DSS office for follow-up since we did not get any call from my brother and his in-law.

“They denied us entry into the DSS premises from the gate at the mention of his name. We heard that they have transferred them from the DSS state facility in Asokoro to their headquarters in Maitama. We went there but they didn’t allow us to enter.

“My National Youth Service Corps programme is on hold since I can’t access my phone where I have my call-up code.
