EXCLUSIVE: Abuja Woman Detained After Rejecting Sexual Advances From Ubulu-Uku Prime Minister, Rights Group Alleges Police Complicity A woman identified as Hajia Ngozi is reportedly being detained at Garki Police Station in Abuja after rejecting alleged sexual advances from Hon. Asika James Onwordi, the Traditional Prime Minister of Ubulu-Uku Kingdom in Delta State. According to voice notes and information obtained by SaharaReporters, Onwordi allegedly offered her ₦5 million to procure explicit recordings of other women, a request she declined as a married woman. The refusal reportedly led to intimidation, physical assault, seizure of her phone, and her eventual arrest under the alleged influence of the politician. Despite accusations of harassment and coercion, police officers detained Ngozi instead of the official. Rights group RULAAC has petitioned the Nigeria Police Complaint Response Unit, describing her detention as unlawful and a misuse of police powers, while calling for her immediate release and a full investigation into the conduct of both the officers and Onwordi. --- #PoliceAbuse #SexualHarassment #HumanRights

Nursing Mother, Baby Held in Nigerian Prison Months After Protest Arrest The Nigerian Police have continued to detain a nursing mother, Jamila Ibrahim, and her infant daughter at the Suleja Correctional Centre months after their arrest during a peaceful protest linked to the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) in Abuja. Jamila was arrested on March 28 at Wuse Market while carrying her one-month-old baby. Family sources say she is not a member of the IMN but had joined the protest voluntarily. Since then, she has reportedly been held without trial or formal charges, with no notification given to her family at the time of arrest. Sources within the Shiite group and her family claim that both mother and child remain in custody in degrading conditions, sparking outrage over the treatment of the infant, who has committed no crime. The protest, part of the 2025 International Quds Day procession, was violently disrupted by the Nigerian Army’s Guard Brigade using live ammunition, leaving several dead and many injured. The IMN has condemned the crackdown, accusing the government of double standards—publicly criticizing Israel’s actions in Gaza while attacking pro-Palestine demonstrators at home. So far, 380 protesters, including women and children, are believed to have been arrested, while the full casualty count remains unknown. #JusticeForJamila #FreePalestineProtest #HumanRightsViolation #NigeriaPoliceAbuse
