No fewer than 55 detainees suspected to be Boko Haram insurgents have died recently in a military detention facility located in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, an international Human Rights watch, the Global Amnesty Watch Foundation (GAWF) has disclosed.
The disclosure was made by yesterday by the country's representative, Helen Adesola, during a press briefing after a fact-finding in response to the widely reported outbreak of meningitis at the detention centre.
Contrary to earlier reports that the deaths were caused by meningitis, she attributed the deaths to an excessive heat wave.
Her words:” Global Amnesty Watch in line with its mandate, took upon itself to undertake a fact-finding tour of the Military detention facility in Maiduguri, Borno state after it got information that serotype C strain of cerebral meningitis has found its way into the facility.
“This tour was undertaken in the firm belief that the detainees at the facilities have basic rights that cannot and must not be taken away from them. Their right to dignity and right to life require that diseases are not allowed to ravage them”.
“Much as the Military is the responsibility of the federal government, the state government must wake up to its responsibility since a majority of the detainees are from Borno, by not abandoning them even though they are being held on the suspicion of their linkage with the Boko Haram terrorist group,” he said.
