We miss him.

I just learned of the arrest of @DeleFarotimi, a respected human rights lawyer and advocate, over an allegation of defamation.

This action is a gross misuse of police powers and a grave assault on the principles of democracy and justice in Nigeria.

I condemn this action in totality. It represents not only an attempt to intimidate opposing voices from questioning authority .

It is also a worrying signal to every Nigerian who loves and values freedom of expression and dares to demand accountability and transparency.

The Nigeria Police Force exists to protect the rights of citizens, not to suppress them.

Defamation, by its nature, is a civil matter that should be addressed in court through due legal process in line with the dictates of the rule of law in a democracy.

As a private citizen, former governor, and even today, I am frequently defamed, insulted, and lied about and against. Yet, I have never resorted to using the Nigerian police or filing reports to silence others.

Those who feel otherwise should seek redress through the proper legal channels, not by weaponizing the police or abusing their access to authority or state power.

The resort to police action, in this case, reeks of abuse of power and raises serious concerns about the independence and professionalism of the police as a civil force.

I hereby request that Dele Farotimi should be released immediately and unconditionally. The police must recognize that their allegiance is to the Constitution and the people of Nigeria, not to narrow interests at the behest of those in power.

A new more Just and fair Nigeria is possible!

I just spoke with Kunle Akinwale, the Commissioner of @PoliceNG Ekiti State Command. He admits that they arrested @DeleFarotimi and that he's being driven from Lagos to Ekiti by road.

I told him categorically that this constituted an abuse of @PoliceNG's powers and that this was a civil case that ought not to have warranted police intervention.

When he admitted to me that they were driving him from Lagos, I asked him repeatedly, “ Did he kill someone?”

He even said he was still under investigation for “cybercrime.” this illegal arrest was staged by one of Nigeria’s most senior lawyers, Afe Babalola SAN

This is just despicable.

#FreeDeleFarotimi Now!

According to information reaching us, @PIDOMNIGERIA was definitely alive and relatively unharmed until Wednesday in FCID detention.

Between then and now, something has changed, and we don't know what. Every security agency in Abuja is denying knowing anything about it.

The only thing we know is that ONSA is in charge of this somehow, even though ONSA technically has no direct jurisdiction over @PoliceNG.

Whether Pidom is alive, only @NuhuRibadu can tell us at this point. I'll just remind everyone that even under Abacha, political prisoners didn't die in detention without appearing in front of a judge.

Even in the animal kingdom there is love for the young. Here in Nigeria we throw them out on the streets like discarded goods. Go make the next child while using religion to perpetuate political rascality

A few days ago, I was honored to present the keynote speech To the Graduate Students in African Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington. In my presentation titled - Africa, Our Future - I looked at the development options for Africa, considering its population size and urbanization and what it needs to learn from different spheres to deepen the value generated across the continent. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

@adejibo Any other country will say why are people leaving and how can we attract the best to come here and stay. Nigeria will say "none shall pass".
It's madness
