The executive director of CPJD, Sulayman Kuku-Dawodu stated that foundation recently implemented a project in Maiduguri Wawa Military Detention Center, where a number of Boko Haram detainees were legally represented after a long period of detention..

Kuku-Dawodu noted that the outcome of the project showcased or demonstrated flagrant abuse of human rights of thousands of detainees, detained between 10-14 years without charge in some cases and some charged but not prosecuted by the Federal Government m

The project also revealed that a large number of these detainees are low level participants, who in some cases are victims of circumstances by their accounts and evidence proffered against them albeit many have indicated willingness to plead guilty due to the extended period in custody.”

He therefore called on the federal government through the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation to take all reasonable measures in ensuring speedy disposal of some of these low level suspects/defendants detained over the years in Maiduguri and Kainji military detention facilities.
