The Nigerian Navy has explained why it would not release the 40 detained suspects in its custody despite the recent call by human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, that they should do so. Nigeria

The Navy, which described itself as a rational and responsible organisation, said it doesn’t act arbitrarily, explaining that there were some clues that resulted in the arrest of the suspects.

He said: “The Nigerian Navy is a very rational and a responsible organisation. We don’t act arbitrarily; if there is anything that led to the arrest of some persons, there would have been some leads. “The appropriate prosecuting agencies for such offences are looking very closely into that matter. And for whatever it is, if anybody has any grouse with any action, perhaps, he should resort to the court instead of all these media hypes, with all due respect, in the name of human rights.
