The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has ordered an official investigation into the alleged unlawful six-year detention of Seaman Abbas Haruna, a naval officer. The investigation follows widespread public outcry sparked by a viral video in which Haruna’s wife, Usaina Haruna, appeared on the Brekete Family Show, alleging injustice against her husband.
According to Usaina, Seaman Haruna has been held in military detention for over six years for allegedly leaving a parade to pray. The video has since generated significant public backlash, with many criticizing the military’s handling of the situation.
In response, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, the spokesperson for the Nigerian military, issued a statement acknowledging the viral claims and assuring the public that the matter would be thoroughly investigated. He reaffirmed the military’s commitment to justice and fairness, stating that the Nigerian Armed Forces adhere to the rule of law and will ensure that every individual involved in such matters receives fair treatment.

In light of the allegations, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, has directed an immediate investigation to establish the facts surrounding Haruna’s prolonged detention. The outcome of the investigation will be made public once the review is complete.
Brigadier General Gusau also urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information during the investigation. He assured that the military would conduct a transparent and speedy inquiry into the matter to ensure justice is served.
