The wife of Lance Corporal Martins Idakpani, Victoria Idakpani, has been released by the Nigerian Army, the PUNCH reports.
This is coming nine days after she was arrested by the army because her husband criticized the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Buratai, in a viral video over the handling of the Boko Haram terrorists.
The army arrested his wife after she granted a media interview, calling for the release of her husband.
Sources say she was arrested Tuesday midnight and spent nine days in the military guardroom where she was locked up with her phone confiscated.
The PUNCH learnt that her release came after a human rights lawyer, Tope Akinyode, vowed to institute a lawsuit against the Nigerian Army over the unlawful detention of the couple.
The lawyer later filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian Army, the Chief of Army Staff, and the Attorney General of the Federation, urging the Federal High Court to grant unconditional release of Martins and his wife.
Akinyode said the lawsuit against the army would continue despite Victoria’s release.
Currently there’s no information about Martins.
