Oby Ezekwesili Temporarily Detained By SSS At Abuja Airport

A former Minister of Education and one of the coordinators of the BringBackOurGirls campaign, Dr Oby Ezekwesili almost missed her flight to London earlier today, where she was scheduled to appear on a BBC Hard Talk programme.

According to her, the Department of State Security Services (SSS), which only recently labelled her group of campaigners a ‘franchise’, temporarily seized her passport during screening of passengers at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Ezekwesili, whose passport was later released by the SSS operatives, tweeted her encounter via her handle @obyezeks:

  1. It makes me wonder when I hear some Nigerians ask is this democracy? Imagine comparing OBJ govt and GEJ own it is clear GEJ democracy is better; Dr Eby a former Minister of education is today Complaining is this Democracy meanwhile she served in a semi military democracy headed by a tyrant and she never for one minute complained about the Manner with which EFFC Conducted his affairs,the various Beer parlour impeachment we see in this country; all happened in a government and she was busy eating now she is complaining is this democracy? Allow us listen to better things woman. If you are to join this government such talk will be over o

  2. Its funny how we humans forget d past so fast and not to mention easily: I for one have refused to thread such paths considering the fact that our past is something we learn from so we must not repeat the same mistakes. But funny as it may sound I really would want this woman to be ducked somewhere far from here. She is more than a nuisance whose aim to remain in the spotlight and wants to remain relevant, she is a total failure and a disgrace. How does seizing of your passport bring the question of “is this democracy?”
