DSS Releases Abia Resident Callistus Ifedi After Four Years of Detention, Wife Still Held Amid Alleged IPOB Links
The Department of State Services (DSS) has released Callistus Ifedi, an Abia State resident who was detained alongside his wife in 2021 over alleged involvement with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore disclosed the release on December 19, 2025, highlighting that Ifedi’s wife remains unaccounted for, last seen in 2023 at Wawa Barracks. Sowore condemned the ongoing secret detentions, calling Wawa Barracks a “hidden horror” where detainees are held incommunicado, denied access to lawyers, and subjected to secret trials. Human rights groups, including Amnesty International, have repeatedly urged the Nigerian government to end enforced disappearances and ensure transparency in detention practices.
