HURIWA said the reported detention for over five days of Biniyat on the alleged order of the State Commissioner for internal security on the accusation of defamation, amounted to an abuse of power.
Reacting to the development, HURIWA, in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and the National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf, faulted the resort to self-help by Aruwan for purportedly deploying the services of the Kaduna State Police Command to clamp into detention someone he accused of defaming his person instead of following the due process of law.
The organization quoted the Black’s Law Dictionary, to have affirmed that “Defamation” means “Holding up a person to ridicule, scorn or contempt in a respectable and considerable part of the community; maybe criminal as well as civil”. “According to a plethora of decided cases, it has been held that in order to succeed in an action for Defamation, a plaintiff must prove that the libel or slander has been published, that is communicated to some other person or persons other than the plaintiff himself. See UGO V. OKAFOR 3 NWLR 542 AT 560”, HURIWA asserted.
