In a heart-wrenching appeal, Hafsat Dahiru, a mother of six from Taraba State, Nigeria, has called upon the state governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas, and the Commissioner of Police, David lloyanomon, to secure the release of her husband, Musa Dahiru. Musa, a dedicated employee of the State Ministry of Agriculture, was reportedly arrested under contentious circumstances.
The ordeal began when an audio clip surfaced on social media, purportedly criticizing the recent appointment of the Chief of Takum and implicating the governor's alignment with retired General T. Y Danjuma's directives. Allegedly, this critique led to Musa's arrest, leaving his family in turmoil.
Hafsat, visibly distraught and struggling to hold back tears, spoke to journalists, pleading for her husband's freedom. "My six children are suffering," she lamented. "Since my husband's arrest three weeks ago, we've had nothing to eat. Two of my children are sick, and I can't afford medication or even basic pain relief."
In response to the unfolding crisis, Emmanuel Bello, the Special Adviser on Media and Digital Communication to the governor, swiftly denied any gubernatorial involvement in Musa Dahiru's detention. "The governor would not stoop to such actions," he affirmed. "The police, in carrying out their duties, must have acted independently."
Contrary to Hafsat's assertions, the police, represented by Acting Public Relations Officer Gambo Kwache, denied knowledge of any arrest linked to Musa Dahiru's name. This contradiction only deepened the mystery surrounding Musa's whereabouts and the circumstances of his confinement.
The unfolding drama underscores the precarious nature of free speech in contemporary Nigeria, where social media commentary can quickly escalate into legal repercussions. For Hafsat Dahiru and her children, it has plunged them into an agonizing struggle for survival, highlighting the human toll of such disputes.
As calls for justice echo through Taraba State, the urgency to resolve Musa Dahiru's case intensifies. Hafsat's plea for clemency resonates not only as a personal appeal but also as a poignant reminder of the broader societal impact when freedoms are curtailed.
