Journalist and presenter Ohimai Amaize Flees Nigeria Over Threats of Arrest | Sahara Reporters

Journalist and presenter of the popular @KakaakiSocial on African Independent Television (AIT), Ohimai Amaize, has fled Nigeria on exile.

SaharaReporters gathered that Amaize, popularly called MrFixNigeria, left Nigeria over threats and concerns he was going to be arrested and framed for treason and incitement by the Muhammadu Buhari regime. It will be recalled that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) had threatened to revoke DAAR Communications license over tweets from Nigerians shown on @kakaakisocial which was anchored by Amaize. The NBC had on June 6 suspended the license of Daar Communications Plc., owners of Africa Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power.

Director-General of NBC, Modibbo Kawu, said the action was taken for failure of the TV and radio stations to abide by the broadcasting code. In a letter entitled, “Lack of Responsibility in use of content from social media,” which was addressed to the Group Managing Director of Daar Communications Group, the NBC described the Kakaaki social edition of May 22, 2019, as “treasonable rhetoric.”

Before his stint at AIT, Amaize was Special Advisor on Media Strategy to Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, while he was the Minister of State for Defence. He also served as Research Assistant to a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu and later a media aide to the presidential campaign of Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation Magazine.

I really miss kaakaaki social, its like my breakfast every morning. Why exactly are they threatening to arrest him? What is his crime for God sake?

Can't wait to see the end of this administration.

One thing politicians fail to understand is that power though intoxicating is transient. Look at Dasuki despite several court injunctions is still in prison since 2015 same for Zakzaky and other political prisoners. It still beats my imagination that some so called educated people rationalize the horrendous anomalies associated with this administration because of parochial/political gains not knowing that what goes around comes at around. Tell me what is the value of education when you can't speak/defend the truth, or reason independently. Unfortunately, we have SANs at the corridors of power yet the executive have sworn to continue perpetrating judicial rascality.
Our VP has suddenly become docile the once revered Sagay, has sold all he stood for, for a morsel of bread he perfectly epitomises the saying 'Everyman have a price' pls don't even mention Keyamo (he's a high budget charge & bail lawyer, never rated him at any point in time).
Now the shameless hunt for the media has taken a new dimension.
The road to tyranny we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth. Bill Clinton
This too shall pass.

Person wey see this one de yan dust won't remember he is talking about the same Nigeria his beloved PDP ruined for the eternity of the 16 years it ruled without him saying a single word. Despicable soul do abound on NL making senseless comment. They simply forget what rationality is and talk about jargon. Imagine this dull heard defending the same court that set Ibori free on two occasion, the same Ibori that was jailed without bail immediately he landed in London.

Biased fools will not remember to highlight such example but expect Dasuki that stole ammunition fund to be set free by the same corrupt judges, expect Buhari to do nothing about it and then call him toothless bulldog. They labeled Buhari bigot that he prosecute only southerners El Zazazki & Dasuki are both northerner and deranged fools are still wailing. This same lunatic where no where to be found when Ebele Jonathan slaughtered 3 sons of the same El Zazazki.

They will not bother to reason why an ex president slaughter 3 sons of a particular man and his successor from a different party chose to jail this same man till the entirety of his duration ? Bigotry hate n extreme foolishness can only be the reason as it is akin to every PDP Igbo supporter. And yes no idiot should quote me on how to pass my point to fools that refuse to see reason for the last four years.

Bill Clinton you quoted ordered the bombing of a shoe factory in kenya. Has he been tried for it? The answer is capital no. As a professional you can't start a TV show where you dish out unsubstantiated social media rumours and expect nbc not to act. As an educated person you should know better.
