UMUAHIA — The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre, RULAAC, has called on the Abia State Government to urgently intervene in the prolonged detention and delayed trial of 12 indigenes of Okagwe Ohafia who have remained in custody since 2021.
In an open letter to Governor Alex Otti, signed by its Executive Director, Mr. Okechukwu Nwanguma, the rights group described the continued detention of the defendants in Charge No. HU/73C/2021: Inspector General of Police Vs. James Ukwu & 11 Others as a serious humanitarian and constitutional concern.
