UPDATE: After coming under immense pressure from the Nigerian public and an intervention involving @Mazi_OJD, @sowore, @adeyanjudeji, @Adebayo_Ralph and myself, @PoliceNG has confirmed that @PIDOMNIGERIA is alive and well in detention at FCID Abuja.
A member of our intervention team on the ground in Abuja physically laid eyes on him a few minutes ago and she confirmed that he is alive and well. According to the Police, he will be arraigned in court next week.
We are requesting a copy of his charge sheet so that a bail application can be prepared.
Nigerians must keep the pressure on so that this goalpost does not shift.

It's funny how humans can defend leadership decadence for years, blame poor citizens for being impatient then suddenly realize things are bad because the incompetence is finally starting to affect them & theirs. 🚶♂️💔
I am being serious, we need a “no child left behind” national programme for education and nutrition in Nigeria, and only the presidency has the scale and convening power to lead this effort.
We are in a national crisis that will definitely lead to our collapse as a country.
The reps received N936,979 -- 100% of their July salaries -- despite pledging to each donate half of N600,000 for six months to fight hunger, @fijnigeria has confirmed.

Dan Bello has always been critical of everyone since his new found career. He has never spared anyone from PDP to NNPP to APC leaders. From southern to northern leaders. All of a sudden now you want to make his criticism about tribe ?

64 protesters were arrested and arraigned before different Magistrates in Katsina State today.
Our team of pro bono lawyers under the auspices of LAWYERS FOR RULE OF LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS led by MM Lawal, Esq. and DD Sani, Esq. represented the protesters in Katsina.
30 of the protesters have been granted bail and most of the 30 have already regained their freedom. We’re still perfecting bail for the remaining.
The other set of 34 protesters have been remanded in the Correctional Centre because they were charged with offences that are only bailable at the High Court.
Our team is taking steps to apply for their bail at the High Court.
We will continue to do all that we can to offer representation to protesters across the country.
History will vindicate the just.

I’m watching protests in the UK on BBC
I didn’t see Police fire teargas.
I didn’t see live ammunitions being used on anyone.
The Police are quietly holding their ground.
I hope the Nigerian Police learns.
