A 300 level chemistry undergraduate at the University of Maiduguri, Salisu Adamu, claims to have been illegally arrested, detained and experienced an ‘unbearable situation’ for more than three years in the hands of Nigeria’s military.
Adamu, a native of Biu local government area of Borno state, said he was taken from his house by the military who told him ‘not to worry, that it was just questions and answers’.
After spending over three years in detention, he was freed last week, among 39 indigenes of Borno State and three foreigners who were handed over to the Borno State government by the military, after finding out they had no affiliations with Boko Haram.
Adamu says his experience in detention was unbearable and that he was lucky to be alive, after witnessing the death of many other detainees like himself. He says his priority after being released, is to go back to school and bag his degree.
