Amnesty International Demands Answers Over Enugu Couple ‘Abducted’ by DSS Since 2021 for Alleged IPOB Links
Amnesty International has raised urgent concerns over the disappearance of Sunday and Calista Ifedi, an Enugu couple allegedly abducted by the Department of State Services (DSS) on November 23, 2021, over suspected links to IPOB. The human rights organisation said the couple has remained missing for more than four years, with their family receiving no official information about their fate or whereabouts.
Their 21-year-old daughter told Amnesty International that DSS operatives took her parents away to “answer certain questions” but never returned them, despite claims they were later transferred to Abuja. Attempts by the family to locate them have been futile.
The disappearance has thrown the family into hardship, forcing the eldest daughter to abandon her education in order to care for her siblings. Amnesty International condemned the ongoing detention as part of a wider pattern of enforced disappearances and unlawful detentions by Nigerian security agencies in the South-East.
The organisation called on authorities to either release the couple immediately or charge them to court, stressing the need for transparency, access to detainees, and justice for affected families.
