Senator Bassey said the Nigerian Senate is deeply concerned by credible reports confirming that Nnorom remains in detention after participating in the Omar Al Mokhtar Flotilla, part of the Global Freedom Flotilla, which sailed to deliver humanitarian aid and express solidarity with the people of Gaza.
Contrary to earlier reports suggesting that he had been released to the Nigerian Embassy in Jordan, fresh information indicates that Nnorom is still being held alongside three Moroccan nationals, one Algerian, and one Spanish national.
Senator Bassey condemned the continued detention as “an unacceptable breach of international law and a violation of basic human rights.” He said that the manipulation of facts and lack of transparency surrounding the detainees’ situation reflect a disregard for humanitarian principles and international accountability.
