The family of the detained
Senior Special Assistant to the Senate President on Youth and Students Matters
Barr Ikenga Ugochinyere, said he has not eaten any food since his arrest three
days ago.
The detained activists
brother, Obinna Ikeagwuonu, who read a
prepared text to newsmen said they have been denied taking food or water to the
detained President of National Youth Council of Nigeria, saying the development
had taken a toll on his health.
To this end they have
demanded an unconditional release of their son. The family said teeming youths
across the country have been calling to know the fate of their leader just as
it said it had limited strength to withstand this pressure if Nigeria youths
want to approach the State and demand for the whereabouts of their president.
“Unofficial information
reaching his family confirmed that Barrister Ikenga was interrogated on two
issues-a petition authored by the Minister of Youths and Sports Development,
Barr. Solomon Dalung, who was indefinitely suspended from the Board of the
National Youth Council of Nigeria, a body over which Ikenga is President. 23 0
