A/HRC/7/3/Add.4 page 41 overcrowded and in poor condition. In total 76 detainees are held there. They all have to sit and sleep on the ground, none of the cells are lit, and there is no toilet. Thirty-six detainees were recently shown on a local TV channel, where they had to state that the conditions of detention in Kaduna are good. Those who refused were allegedly tortured. It was reported that a detainee was recently shot dead outside of the cell. 102. Sunday Agada, aged 23, Benue State. On 26 February 2007, he was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and taken to Tafa Police Station. The next day he was taken to the CID, where he was beaten by a number of officers. He has not received medical treatment for the injuries he sustained, including those on his buttocks. 103. R. Jale, aged 20, Kaduna State. On 22 February 2007, he was arrested, and brought to the State CID. In the torture room (Panteka), he was handcuffed, threatened with death, and beaten with a wooden stick for an hour. 104. Ayo James, aged 35, Calabar. On 2 February 2007, he was arrested in Kaduna on suspicion of armed robbery, and brought from the police station to the CID. He was tortured for three days, during the daytime for 30 minute to one hour sessions. He was beaten with sticks, cables and a sturdy, long bamboo stick. He eventually confessed after the beatings. 105. Petrus Umaru, aged 18, Kaduna. On 16 January 2007, he was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He was initially brought to a police station where he was beaten with a stick before being transferred to the CID later that day. He was tortured in the Panteka for over two days. He was beaten with a heavy bamboo stick for about 40 minutes and threatened with death. 106. Mohammed “Mame” Bello, aged 27. He was arrested on 8 February 2007, on suspicion of armed robbery. He was shot by the police in his right leg when he was arrested, and taken shortly thereafter to St. Gerard’s Hospital to get a bandage. He has not received appropriate treatment since then. As a result his wound has become seriously infected and without immediate treatment his life is at risk. He is unable to walk and cannot move from the place he is sitting (in the corridor between the cells). He has no lawyer and is held incommunicado. In the subsequent debriefing meeting, the Commissioner of Police explained the lack of medical treatment by the lack of financial resources. His assistant, Mr. Eway, however asserted that the detainee was brought several times to the local hospital, though this was proved to be untrue upon examining Mr. Bello’s files. The case of Mr. Bello has been included in the communications sent in relation to the two severely injured detainees at CID Panti, Lagos (see para. 44 of the annex). By letter dated 14 September 2007, the Government informed that Mr. Bello was alive and in prison custody in Kaduna. A photograph and medical certificate of Mr. Bello following his treatment was also provided by the Government. 107. Samaila Adamu, aged 27, Fulani, Kaduna State.
