DEAR ABBY: Wife doesn’t want to be around husband’s grandchildren
An advice-seeker has no desire to be a grandma
Hauwa Mundi is a broadcast journalist from Radio Nigeria who is currently based in Kaduna. Her husband, Ibrahim Bichi, is a former official of the Department of State Services (DSS) who worked there for 19 years before being dismissed. Hauwa's husband was detained by the DSS on June 3, 2026, after he went to report for a two-day counter-terrorism training.
Hauwa found out about his detention when she returned from a trip to Geneva and couldn't reach her husband. She requested to see him, but it took over a week before she could meet with him. During their visits, Hauwa expressed concerns about her husband's condition, as he had lost weight and appeared sick. The DSS assured her that her husband was receiving medical treatment and that they do not physically harm anyone in their custody.
Hauwa's main concern was the lack of transparency surrounding her husband's detention and the uncertainty about his whereabouts for several days.
