A retired senior official of the State Security Service, held without trial by the agency for 48 days and counting over his alleged ties to Ibrahim Magu, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.
Abba Kaka Mohammed was arrested by SSS agents on July 17 but had neither been released not charged to court ever since.
The Nigerian law allows a maximum of 48 hours for a suspect to be charged to court or freed on administrative bail.
But Mr Mohammed has now spent weeks languishing in detention without arraignment, amidst concerns by his family that he might have lost one of his eyes after being brutalised by SSS operatives in custody.
His lawyers were granted access to him for the first time on Tuesday. They had since approached the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court for fundamental rights enforcement proceeding against the SSS and Attorney-General Abubakar Malami.
