According to IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the detainees are subjected to severe human rights abuses, including torture and organ trafficking.

The group identified 27 detention centers where the Igbos and people from other ethnic groups are being held incommunicado. Many of the detainees were reportedly arrested during the 2020 #EndSARS protests and have since been held without communication.

 

IPOB claims that Igbos have been specifically targeted by security forces, with many detained on accusations of being members of IPOB, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), or under false charges of kidnapping.

 

The group has called on human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and the UN Human Rights Council, to investigate the situation and pressure the Nigerian government to release those detained.
