The 2nd Plaintiff states that around 11 pm on the same night, they took her and the
other abductees to Life Camp Police Station. On their way, she used a friends’
phone to take pictures of the two members of the taskforce.
When they got to the police station, they detained her in an overcrowded room
that looked like a cell with no food, or water, without access to her counsel or
family till about 3 pm the following day. She was not charged for any offence or
given a reason for the said abduction.
The 2nd Plaintiff further states that she did not report the matter to the police as
they were obviously involved in her detention. However, her lawyer sent a letter
of complaint on her behalf to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory who
responded by sending her a written apology.
The 3rd Plaintiff avers that on October 25th, 2012 she was out with a friend of hers
called Mikey and suddenly a white Toyota pickup truck and a white bus pulled
up and about 8 men in plain clothes and police uniform jumped down and ordered
her to get into the truck.
The 3rd Plaintiff did not know who they were until she saw the AEPB (Abuja
Environmental Protection Board) logo on the side of the bus and she realized they
were the taskforce that pick up women believed to be prostitutes.
These men did not ask her to identify herself rather they dragged her towards the
truck, pulling her hair, hands and legs, touching her breast and attempted to push
her into their bus.
