Gen UBA thanks for your service to Nigeria
You are a true hero
It has been established that the @officialEFCC unlawfully arrested and detained Martins Vincent Otse aka VDM, as a means to silence him for accusing the agency and its leaders of corruption and malfeasance.
The @officialEFCC is currently exploring legal avenues to charge him in court, possibly tomorrow, in an attempt to legitimize their actions.
Nevertheless, it is essential to state unequivocally that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission @officialEFCC does not possess the authority to prosecute individuals for criminal defamation, criminal libel, or cybercrime, as these are torts that are typically addressed through civil lawsuits.
As a result, the EFCC must release VDM immediately.

Peter Obi in the Labour Party.
Peter Obi to the PDP.
Peter Obi in a coalition of opposition parties.
Whatever arrangement it is, make sure that Peter Obi is the CANDIDATE not the VICE. 📌
I stand with Dele Farotimi.
Uncle Dele is one of the loudest voices of reason in a country devoid of common-sense ruled by evil monsters determined to erode our collective sanity.
Today it may be Dele.
Tomorrow it could be you.
Now is the time to speak up!
#FreeDeleFarotimiNow
All Dele Desires is a better Nigeria and I know these hegemonic cesspool will not last forever, we have seen empires come and go! History will favour the just!

Afe BabaLola SAN wants the Nigeria Police Force to confiscate all hard copies of Dele Farotimi book??

Please buy yours here: https://t.co/sKwQ84rOfC #FreeDeleFarotimiNow
Nigerian lawyers are still waiting for a memo before hitting the streets to protest the illegal abduction of Uncle Dele Farotimi. They studied law only to remain timid and cowardly. #FreeDeleFarotimi
How can the system in which the people seek Justice be so Criminal?
Dele Farotimi Called It and the script plays itself right before our eyes!!!
Oppressors have completely taken over the country and you can now be the Aggrieved, Judge and Jury all at once in Nigeria.
This is Uncle Dele Farotimi 2days ago:
He spoke regarding his arrest by a compromised justice system towards a criminal persecution planned against him.
Everything Dele said has now happened.
Pls share this for the world to see!
#FreeDeleFarotimi 🙏🏿 🙏🏿
Students from Uni of Maiduguri and UniJos, traveling for their annual convention in Enugu have just been abducted somewhere in Benue State, not far from Otukpo judging by their last location.
@PoliceNG speed is of the essence as they need to be found quickly
Dear Adesina Ademola Ogunlana, we were together last Thursday at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota, Lagos for the #EndBadGovernanceProtest.
You didn’t tell me that it was going to be the last time I’ll be seeing you.
What is life?
I woke up this morning to the tragic news of your passing. You just celebrated your 60th birthday a few days ago.
Why now?
You were one of the committed fighters for human rights and good governance in our country.
As Chairman of the Ikeja Branch of the NBA, you led the fight against the increase of land use charge by the Lagos State Government. You were always on the side of the people. Where you stood on issues was never in doubt.
The nation has lost your progressive voice. This is a sad day for the civil society and the human rights community in Nigeria.
Sleep on gallant warrior, sleep well comrade.
