The Abduction of Sunday Ifedi and Calista Ifedi by DSS
The abduction of Sunday Ifedi and Calista Ifedi marks a troubling chapter in Nigeria’s ongoing struggle for human rights. On November 23, 2021, this couple from the Ezeagu community in Enugu State was taken from their home by state security agents, specifically the Department of State Services (DSS). This incident has drawn significant attention from human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, which has been advocating for their safe return.
For over four years, the whereabouts of Sunday and Calista Ifedi remain unknown, raising serious concerns about their safety and the legality of their detainment. The DSS’s actions have sparked widespread condemnation and have highlighted ongoing issues regarding extrajudicial abductions in Nigeria. Many families in similar situations have found themselves in the dark, struggling to uncover the fate of their loved ones.
The silence surrounding the Ifedis’ case is particularly alarming, as it reflects a broader pattern of human rights violations that often go unchecked. Furthermore, the lack of accountability for state security agents involved in such abductions raises questions about the rule of law in Nigeria.
In a world where human rights should be safeguarded, the abduction of innocent citizens like Sunday and Calista Ifedi serves as a grim reminder of the challenges faced by many. As advocates continue to press for justice, the international community must also pay attention to these violations and push for reforms that protect citizens from unlawful detentions.
