Capt. Koli, the brother to Adamu.

A copy of a petition provided to Sahara Reporters details
the abduction and detainment of a young boy, Adamu Ishak Lawal Koli, at the
military hospital of Adekunle Fanjuyi’s Cantonment as retaliation against his
brother, Captain Sagir Koli.
Sahara Reporters exclusively revealed that Capt. Koli leaked
audio recordings of senior Peoples Democratic Party leaders planning to rig the
Ekiti State gubernatorial elections last year. The young Adamu was chained to
his bed and starved as a tactic to lure his brother Capt. Koli out from hiding.
The family was “reliably informed that their son, (the young
Adamu) was seen at the Military Hospital” where he was reportedly “chained to
his bed.”
Barrister Ajayi, who was sent on a fact-finding mission to
the cantonment and hospital, said he was “denied access to the Young boy, as
the military officers feigned ignorance of the presence of the Youngman
(Adamu).”
The petition submitted to the Human Rights Commission stated
that Adamu Lawal Koli is not a military officer and could not have violated any
military law to warrant his detention, particularly being chained to his bed.
The petition concludes “if they found him [Adamu] in breach
of any military instructions and or regulations because it would be unfair to
transfer their anger against their fellow military officers to an innocent
civilian.” Adamu was under the supervision of his uncle, Captain Sagir Isah
Koli who was stationed at that cantonment, according to the family.
Sahara Reporters calls to General Chris Olukolade, the
Director of Defence Information, were not returned after he said he would
investigate the issue. Brigadier General Momoh, the supervising officer of
Capt. Koli, and who was bribed by PDP leaders would not answer his phone after
repeated attempts.
