Oby Ezekwesili
Co-leader of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement, Oby Ezekwesili, has revealed on her Twitter account this Tuesday afternoon that some police officers deployed by the Inspector General of Police have illegally arrested and detained her as well as other members of the BBOG movement.
The former Minister for Education alleged that it was President Muhammadu Buhari who instructed the IG of Police to detain her and other members of the BBOG group.
It was gathered from Oby Ezekwezili’s tweets that she is being detained at the Unity Fountain, adding that police officers “built an impregnable wall” and “locked her in”.
She stated that Officer Tina Ishaya, one of the police officers detaining her, refused to let her out of the wall.
Here are Tweets we culled from her page;
President @MBuhari The police officers deployed by IG of .@PoliceNG is VIOLATING my FREEDOM of MOVEMENT by LOCKING ME IN in broad day light at the Unity Fountain. THIS IS A DEMOCRACY. Officer Tina Ishaya just again REFUSED TO LET ME OUT OF THEIR WALL.

The reported false imprisonment & detention of @obyezeks & members of @BBOG_Nigeria makes a mockery of @MBuhari‘s claim that this govt is one of change that is governed by d rule of law. The authorities should immediately release them & allow them to freely exercise their rights https://t.co/I5mLRp7YrT
