A coalition of civil society groups against impunity has called for the immediate release of a member of the National Youth Service Corps, Emeh Nnamdi.
The groups asked the police to release Nnamdi or charge him in court if he is found to have committed any crime.
Nnamdi, a 26-year-old NYSC member and an IT consultant to the Anambra State Police Command, has been in detention in Abuja since March 3, 2023, after he was arrested in Benin Republic for allegedly revealing details about police extortion, torture, extrajudicial executions, and organ harvesting by senior police officers in Anambra State.
On Sunday, April 2, 2023, he was transferred to the Anambra State Police Command where he is currently facing further interrogation.

Among his interrogators in Anambra are the senior police officers whom he had indicted for allegedly seizing posh vehicles recovered from criminal suspects who were later executed in police custody.
The civil society groups, in a statement on Tuesday, said the development where Nnamdi is being interrogated by the officers he indicted offends the principle of natural justice, which espouses that one should not be a judge in one’s case.
They, therefore, urged the Nigerian police to immediately release him or charge him for a recognised offence.
