Hauwa Mundi, a broadcast journalist from Nigeria, shares her husband's story. Ibrahim Bichi, a former personnel of the Department of State Services, was dismissed after 19 years of service. He was detained after attempting to report for counter-terrorism training. Hauwa was out of the country when her husband was detained and only learned of his situation after 13 days.
She wrote to the Director-General of DSS, who informed her about a petition regarding his social media posts. The posts criticized the Hausa-Fulani terminology and the revered figure Usman dan Fodio. He was detained on June 3, 2026, and Hauwa has been allowed weekly visits since then. She expressed concerns about the secrecy surrounding his detention and his physical condition, which she noted had been affected.
