The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has detained private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu at a location that remains unknown to his legal team.
The circumstances surrounding his arrest are not yet clear, and the OSP has not released an official statement detailing the basis for his detention. Attempts by his lawyers to locate him have so far been unsuccessful.
Kpebu, known for his outspoken stance on governance and anti-corruption issues, has in recent months publicly criticized various actions of state institutions, including the OSP.
It is unclear whether his recent commentary is connected to Wednesday’s development.
The detention has sparked concern among sections of the legal community, with some calling for immediate clarification from the OSP to ensure transparency and adherence to due process.
