Some residents of Anambra State have accused Governor Charles Soludo’s security operatives, popularly known as Ndi Aka-Odo, of unlawful detention.
According to the detainees, they have been held in custody for the past three days without trial or access to legal representation. Crying out from behind bars, they alleged mistreatment and appealed for urgent intervention from the authorities.
The group, which was set up to clamp down on touting and insecurity in the state, has faced mounting criticism in recent months, with residents accusing its operatives of harassment, extortion, and brutality.
The state government is yet to respond to the latest allegations.
