Nigeria: Authorities must immediately and unconditionally release journalist Daniel Ojukwu
Nigerian authorities must immediately and unconditionally release investigative journalist Daniel Ojukwu, who was remanded in prison custody for 21 days by the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday. His detention raises serious concerns about the use of judicial processes to intimidate journalists and undermine the right to freedom of expression and media freedom in Nigeria.
Daniel Ojukwu, an investigative reporter with the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), has faced legal proceedings since December 2024 following his reporting on alleged corruption and the diversion of public funds involving Nigerian government officials. In May 2024, he was abducted by officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in connection with his journalistic work.
The continued prosecution and detention of Ojukwu appear to be part of a broader pattern of using the criminal justice system to punish journalists for exposing allegations of corruption and holding public officials accountable.
Detaining him for a further 21 days risks reinforcing a climate of fear and intimidation among journalists and media professionals.
The authorities must ensure that any legal proceedings comply fully with international human rights standards, including the right to a fair trial and guarantees of due process.
The Nigerian authorities must also immediately end all forms of harassment, intimidation and targeting of investigative journalist Fisayo Soyombo. They must respect his right to carry out legitimate journalistic activities, including investigating and exposing corruption, abuse of power and human rights violations, without fear of reprisals.
No journalist should be subjected to threats, intimidation or punitive measures for holding those in positions of power accountable.
The authorities must ensure that journalists, including Daniel Ojukwu and Fisayo Soyombo, can work freely and independently without interference or fear of arbitrary arrest, detention or prosecution.
Any attempt to silence investigative journalists through intimidation or the misuse of the criminal justice system constitutes a serious threat to the right to freedom of expression and media freedom in Nigeria.
The Nigerian government must respect, protect and fulfil the right to freedom of expression and the freedom of the press, including the right of journalists and citizens to investigate, report on and criticise public officials and government policies without fear of reprisals.
Authorities must refrain from weaponising criminal laws and judicial processes to intimidate, harass, punish or silence journalists, activists, human rights defenders and other government critics. Journalism is not a crime, and exposing allegations of corruption must never be treated as an offence.
Anyways, we are tweeting #FreeDanielOjukwu because it’s important to know that a public official is weaponizing the cybercrime act to remand @Mazi_OJD in prison for report fact on public spending.
2 truths can co exist. I don’t think there’s a problem with this. You must at least write WASSCE. Do IB and IGCSE if you must. We also need to improve our curriculum.
DANGER! THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ABOUT TO DRAG NIGERIAN EDUCATION BACK TO THE STONE AGE!
From 2027, the Federal Ministry of Education wants to force EVERY private and international secondary school in Nigeria to make students sit for WAEC, NECO or other approved Nigerian examinations, even when those students are already pursuing internationally recognised qualifications.
Schools that refuse risk losing their licences!
Instead of urgently modernising our outdated curriculum, fixing dilapidated public schools, building functional science laboratories, training teachers and introducing globally competitive learning standards, we are busy creating policies that threaten educational innovation.
Why are we more interested in forcing successful schools to conform than in raising the standards of failing schools?
The world is moving towards artificial intelligence, robotics, critical thinking, practical skills and competency-based education. Yet we are obsessed with forcing everyone into the same examination system.
We should be exporting educational excellence, not restricting it!
Nigeria cannot become globally competitive by punishing schools that dare to do things differently.
This policy must be urgently reconsidered before we sacrifice another generation’s educational opportunities on the altar of regulatory control.

Hi Everyone, please I need your help.
I’ve battled Keloid since I was 2 as a result of the first ear piercing which was done at birth and was done wrongly.
My parents have gone through several options given to them and it keeps reoccurring.
I’ve done several surgical removal that I can’t even keep count both in general hospitals and private hospitals and they always finish up with kenalog as usual, I did cryotherapy for 2years with a popular Bumps clinic and the pain from the procedure almost paralyzed the left part of my body as it became weaker and I couldn’t use it, still it resurfaced.
Since 2015 I’ve been in and out of the hospital over this keloid, one general hospital suggested removing the whole ear which might cause another issue as it could still grow again.
I’ve been going through excruciating pains, every single day of my life I’m in pains, I’ve been popping painkillers like who’s taking candy, I barely sleep at night
Most days I’m awake till morning, once it’s night I get scared cos the pains becomes unbearable.
Sometimes I take sleeping pills just to get through the night.
I can’t go out, I can’t even show up for my business, my parents and siblings have had to give up their finances every single year because of me. Last year November, my sister single-handedly took care of the bills for the procedure I did.
At some point the Keloid started to accumulate abscess, it becomes so much that I’ve had to go through drainage process, I did one last year as well.
And all of these have made the keloid very aggressive and it grows faster by the day, the last removal procedure I did was in April of last year, the growth you’re seeing in frame 1 is just 1year and 7months growth which is unusually fast.
Since I finished my service year I’ve been at home because I couldn’t work with this condition, I even had to let go of a few job opportunities I was recommended for with the hope of getting this done before I fully commit.
A doctor I met recommended LASUTH earlier this year and since May I’ve been trying to get booked for surgery, initially I was booked for surgery but I wasn’t told everything it entailed, my first surgery date was September 11th and it was moved later on due to the strike.
I was opportuned to secure a consultation again with the Burns and Plastic unit (BPSU) yesterday in LASUTH and the consultant put me through everything I needed for the keloid to not reoccur.
He said I needed at least 2 Radiotherapy sessions of which one has to be done exactly 24hrs after the surgical removal and then another few weeks after.
After which I have to undergo chemotherapy and then post op care which includes injections, drugs,silicone creams, and any other recommended care.
The Radiotherapy is to be done in LUTH (I was given a reference letter for it) after making enquiries in LUTH, the estimate of one radiotherapy session was given at 2.5m, and I’ll be needing 2sessions which sums up to 5m. Then the surgery for the removal of the Keloid costs 1.2m and I’ve been able to come up with that. Then after the surgery I’m to undergo chemotherapy and post op care but I have not been told how much that would cost, so I am unsure of the entire cost of that but the estimation according to what I’ve researched is about 2m.
LASUTH have given me November 19th for my next and last consultation before the removal and this simply means I have to come up with the money for everything before then.
So in total what will be needed for the successful surgery and post op care is 8.2m of which I’ve already raised 1.2m and I’m left to source for 7m before the 19th of November.
This was really really hard for me to do as I have never done this before but this is my last resort as I have exhausted all my options and I have spent more than 6months alone trying to get booked with LASUTH.
Please help me get my life back together 🙏
Any amount will go a long way🙏
