Ex NANS President Remanded in Keffi Prison Over Alleged Criticism of Gov. Sani
There is a growing concern over repression of dissenting voices ahead of the 2027 general elections starting with the January 16, 2027 Presidential and National Assembly polls.
The latest victim of attempts at silencing opposition voices, who is now being detained at Keffi Correctional Facility, is the immediate past President of National Association of Nigerian Students, Comrade Abubakar Atiku Isa.
Comrade Atiku was arrested in his house in Kaduna for allegedly criticising Governor Uba Sani for non-performance, though the police claim he was being held for cybercrimes.
He was detained at one of the police stations in Kaduna among criminals where he was allegedly badly brutalised leaving him with swollen eyes and bleeding from the ears.
Investigations by VDCInsights revealed that the former NANS President had criticised the governor over non-performance in one of his media appearances and predicted defeat for the governor at the forthcoming Governorship elections in the state come February 2027.
After his detention in police custody in Kaduna for one week without arraignment in court, he was subsequently moved to Abuja for questionable arraignment, from where he was transferred to Keffi Correctional Facility last Friday, October 23, 2026.
Wife of Comrade Atiku, Hauwau, told VDCInsights that she was worried about the safety of her husband after his brutalisation before the family like a common criminal and subsequent disappearance for more than a week now.
She said his whereabout is unknown to the family which further raises fears about his safety, especially at a time when people are being abducted and never seen again.
Hauwau argued that in a democracy people have freedom of speech and her husband only exercised his fundamental rights as a citizen, and wondered why he should be dehumanised for sharing a contrary view.
She appealed to the Inspector General Of Police, Olatunji Disu to intervene in the matter and compel his men to release her husband unhurt or arraign him before a court of competent jurisdiction for trial.
Comrade Atiku is described as a very vocal person once it bothers on injustice which has made him a target by those who abhor criticisms.
The former NANS President was one of those who had stood publicly for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu after meeting him in custody in Abuja and hearing his side of the story., and has also visited Kanu in Sokoto, where he is serving his prison term.
