Glory Okolie, a 21-year-old young woman was innocently arrested by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) from Imo State and one love foundation and her filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian government at the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice in Abuja over her unlawful detention.The nigeria police had arrested glory Okolie for allegedly being friends with a suspected member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). She was later transferred to Abuja, despite efforts by her family members to secure his release.
