Army releases wife of soldier who lambasted Buratai

 


Victoria Idakpini, the detained wife of Lance Corporal Martins Idakpani has been  freed by the Nigerian Army.

This was nine days after she was held by the army because her husband slammed the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Buratai, in a viral video over the handling of the Boko Haram terrorists.

The army proceeded to arrest his wife after she granted a media interview, calling for the release of her husband.

Sources say she was arrested Tuesday midnight and spent nine days in the military guardroom where she was locked up.

Her phone was also confiscated. The lawyer later filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian Army, the Chief of Army Staff, and the Attorney General of the Federation, urging the Federal High Court to grant unconditional release of the Martins and his wife.
