๐จ THREAD: 7 Nigerians whose arrests sparked national debate over free speech, dissent, and the right to criticize government policies under President Tinubu's administration (2023โ2026).
Since President Bola Tinubu assumed office in May 2023, Nigerian authorities have faced significant scrutiny over the reported suppression of dissent. The Committee to Protect Journalists documented 91 incidents involving journalists through mid-2026, often under the Cybercrimes Act. These cases frequently stem from investigative reporting on governance issues or public criticism amid economic challenges. Many detentions are temporary, though they raise concerns regarding civic space and press freedom.
