“Up till today, none of our
commanders, staff and or volunteers has ever violated the sanctity of the
national security of Nigeria. We feel it right to say that all our activities
are conducted publicaly, in the open eyes of all security agencies in Nigeria.
Our abducted Commander Haruna Abbas Ali has never committed any security breach
against any law or against any security organ. We humbly requests the
authorities of the State Security Service to discharge their duties objectively
and avoid any unpatriotic interest apart from genuine national security
interest. We also request the unconditional release of our Commander, Haruna
Abbas Ali, and any innocent person that is unlawfully and unjustifiably
abducted and in detention in your custody.”
