It is totally insane that the overrated Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum @ProfZulum, the same man who recently allocated billions of naira to so-called “repentant” Boko Haram militants, has now turned around to jail innocent youths, several of them minors, simply for creating a WhatsApp protest group to mobilize against bad governance in Nigeria.
This outrageous act exposes the hypocrisy of a government that pampers terrorists while criminalizing peaceful dissent. These young people committed no crime other than exercising their constitutional right to association and expression in preparation for the 2024 #EndBadGovernance protest.
We demand their immediate and unconditional release, and an official apology, compensation, and rehabilitation from Governor Zulum. We equally hold accountable the illegal Inspector General of Police @policeng, Kayode Egbetokun, whose men carried out these arrests and may have partaken in a bogus prosecution.
This repression will not silence Nigerians. If anything, it only deepens the resolve of citizens to confront tyranny.
