Captain Dada Labinjo has been in detention for over a year for allegations right activists say are unfounded. Even when the Federal High ordered his release and reinstatement to his position, the detained Naval officer is yet to be charged to court.
He said Capt. Labinjo, his wife, Lt. Commander Sherrifat Lambert and 20 of his crew were arrested and detained on August 25, 2018. He noted that every sitting in court is conducted by a new counsel, adding that torture continues to be used as the means of investigation. “Sometimes the detainees are held in underground cells, blindfolding them without access to their families, lawyers and doctors of their choice.
