The Department of State Services, (DSS), has released a young man, Mr Ya’u Mohammed, from Gashua town, Bade LGA of Yobe State who was wrongfully detained.
Special Adviser on Security Matters to Yobe State Governor,
Brigadier General Dahiru Abdulsalam (Rtd), disclosed the development during a
visit to the DSS Yobe State Command Headquarters in Damaturu, where the young
man was formally handed over to him by the Service before being reunited with
his family.
General Abdulsalam explained that he visited the Command to
ascertain the circumstances surrounding the detention and subsequent release of
the young man.
“Further reviews and findings by the Service confirmed that
Mr Ya’u Mohammed had no involvement in the alleged offence for which he was
earlier detained,” he said.
Abdulsalam described the gesture as unprecedented in his
decades of public service, noting that he had never witnessed a situation where
a suspect was not only released after being cleared, but also provided with
financial support.
“This is a clear deliberate undertaking by the Director
General of the DSS to promote justice, compassion and reintegration,” he added.
Abdulsalam urged other security agencies to continue to
uphold the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights to strengthen
public trust and cooperation.
Reacting after his release, Mr Ya’u Mohammed expressed
gratitude to Almighty God, describing his ordeal as an act of destiny and
faith.
After investigations established that he was not connected
to any wrongdoing and cleared him, the Service supported the released persons
with N2 million to further support his reintegration into society.
