My friend Nuhu, who is a mechanic, was wrongly accused alongside his colleague for stealing a phone at his workshop. They were both arrested, detained and tortured at the Dan magaji police station. Upon discovering that they were innocent, my friend Nuhu had already suffered an injury in his leg, and was in need of surgery. I quickly contacted the ABU Law Clinic and they were able to help my friend get the medical care he needed.

Wrongful Detention & Torture

My husband was requested by a relocating co-tenant to help him dismantle some property on his behalf. After my husband did it, my landlord came and arrested my husband and the co-tenant, accusing them for vandalizing his property. The other tenant was released after he fixed some of the property, however my husband was left in detention. I quickly rushed to the ABU law clinic where the clinicians helped me secure his bail.

Wrongful Detention

I'm a student who also engages in selling shoes just to make ends meet. I ordered shoes for two ladies after they paid me an advance fee, however after delivering the shoes they refused to complete the balance. Thanks to the ABU Law clinic I was able to get them to pay me back.
