[Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki @Penprince_]

So I attended the police “invite” and saw the petition written against I and @PurityAddereth, the other victim was indeed by @chowdeck and defended by @OlaniwunAjayiLP lawyer @OdiaseYehoshua. In my opinion, the petition is an attempt to put us away, and silence us. The petition accused us their victims of trying to bomb their offices, kill their workers, specifically Victor, their Lagos operations manager and that we were a danger to all their workers and riders. These charges written there were conspiracy, threat to life and cyber bullying. But the makeup of the charges add up to nothing short of terrorism. This is why I said an attempt to put us away. The sentence for those can be similar to treason and attract a life sentence. They equated a writer, editor and publisher, and a fashion designer using their right to free speech after suffering gruesome damage, to people who can bomb their offices and kill their workers nation wide. You see where this is going with the cyber crime act? When I tell you this is an attack on all of us, our right to freedom of speech, dessent and criticism. Tell me how TF I am going to bomb anywhere when I need help bathing?

This is an abuse of the police process and a weaponization of the cybercrime act to punish dissent, criticism and free speech against writers, journalists and citizens as so many civil and human rights and other organizations have noted, including the US embassy, UK embassy, etc. so I will exhort to you all Nigerians and all in the international community to write to these embassies and ambassadors to see how this issue they have complained about is being used in this case to oppress what is Africa’s most decorated SFF writer-editor-publisher, including many others. You can write to them at these addresses in the pictures attached here,and handles below. Write to these international organizations to sanction through visas and other processes all those, persons and organizations in and of the Nigerian state, weaponizing the cybercrime act to silence criticism and free speech. The voice of everyone of us matters and free speech and the instruments of democracy must be protected.

Their CEO @LordBinary_'s address says San Francisco via X. You can't be in a place where you enjoy free speech, while bullying others here and stiffling their own by abusing the apparatus of law that is being misused to ruin this country further. So you all should write to the US and other embassies and state departments, all interested in protecting and punishing the violation of free speech and the instruments of democracy, to look into this. Unless this is now Russia or China. @USinNigeria @HCCanNigeria @UKinNigeria @RMontgomeryUK @NorAmbNigeria @HCSalvaggio

And I want you all to join your voices in insisting that Chowdeck

1. Show the public the petition they filed
2. Withdraw it formally
3. Issue a written apology
4. Release a public statement taking accountability

5. Call for the repealing of the Cybercrime act

Have you noticed the fact that Chowdeck, it's CEO hasn't said anything? What company accused of things these serious, for four months now, with a full pr department and board cannot say a word, even to the public actively demanding answers.

And to be clear, I attribute my accident and spinal fracture to the failures of Chowdeck and it's team. Feb 14 when I suffered the accident was a day when their love rush promo was in effect. They deliberately instigated a process that heightened movement and traffic without putting guardrails on this “rush”. One of the leading causes of accidents is fatigue. There are not enough guard rails on how many hours a rider can work. If anything they seem to instigate more activity, more “rush”. And that particular day, they did even more so. I blame the company, and @LordBinary_ . And until they take responsibility in all the ways they should, I will not stop speaking about this. And I will not be silenced. We must fight this, and the cybercrime act.

Including Starlink o

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@adeyanjudeji @chularh Do you have a fund where people can donate to ?

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@neo_officialll I think a free speech fund needs to be created at this point to at least give legal representation for people being bullied by the police for cybercrime laws .

I am sure donations would roll in

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@DesmondNwafor4 @Obeyamark You basically bullied him by calling him a mad man , if we were keeping it a buck he should also come after you .

That you are free is as a result of a free society, one where you are free to insult anyone without the police picking you up

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@possibleoge They do not understand it . It has actually doubled . There is no breather , I never even knew about the trolling before this arrest .. and everywhere I scroll now it is the picture of them both being insulted

[Ayo-Elesho @Ayoelesho]

Ideally, it is not right.

End!

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@Phatbabeluuu Truth ! If artists and politicians decided to move same way then the same people picking people up would have been locked up in prison a long time ago

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@Elkrosmediahub You are worse than Tinubu in terms of free speech laws , you cannot on one hand say you are for a better Nigeria ,

While also supporting the use of a law that criminalizes speech , a law which the ruling party can use to quell dissent

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@safa_karaa @coder_blvck @afrotechbabe Nice … you used retard when describing her … that is an insult . And she can claim you cyberbullied her .

People quick to insult are the ones supporting punishment for people who do exactly as they do 🤔

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@Mhithii @afrotechbabe Mostly because oppression is cheap .. with just 500k you can pick up someone from twitter for “insulting” you

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@_StephNotCurry @afrotechbabe They are worse than the politicians . Even Tinubu as powerful as he always was, said that he stopped going to Twitter after seeing the insults .

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@MikaelCBernard @afrotechbabe Gbam !!!

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@NobleBenz @afrotechbabe and the funny thing is that it is the ones you are they themselves guilty of the same thing are the ones picking people up for insulting them

[ENDSARS!!!! @Tiste_andi]

@MuyoSan @afrotechbabe It’s crazy !! Same Nigerians that call out the police for oppressing them are the same ones using police to oppress people
