Justice for Calista Ifedi.
She was a woman who sold food in Enugu. That was her crime. IPOB members allegedly bought food from her small restaurant, and for that the Nigerian DSS stormed her home on 23 November 2021, seized her and her husband, and disappeared her into detention.
They took her from Enugu and sent her north — to Wawa Barracks in Niger State. There she was held without charge, without trial, without access to court. She fell ill. She complained of severe pain. Instead of medical care she was ignored, mocked, and left to deteriorate until she died. Her husband, held in the same facility, was never told. He only learned of her death years later, after his own release in December 2025, when activists forced the truth into the open. The DSS finally admitted she had died in their custody.
What was her offence? Selling food. That is all. In the eyes of the Nigerian state, feeding an alleged IPOB member was enough to abduct a mother, dump her in a northern detention facility, deny her treatment, and let her die in silence.
Will she get justice? The answer is no. The same system that arrested her without warrant, detained her without charge, transferred her far from home, and covered up her death for years will not suddenly deliver accountability. The powerful protect their own. The poor and the Igbo who dare to exist near any association with the demand for freedom are disposable.
Calista Ifedi is dead because she sold food. Her children grew up without their mother. Her husband spent years in the same dark place that killed her. And the Nigerian state has offered only silence and eventual, reluctant confirmation.
