The Borno State Command of the Nigerian Police Force has continued to clap down on social media activists in the state as the command this morning extended an invitation to Mr Abubakar Abbagana Tarab, a Facebook user who criticises government.



A text message sent from the command reads; ”Abubakar Abbagana Tarab, u should come to GRA police station now”.



It would be recalled that DRUMBEAT NEWS had reported how the police officers acting on instructions of governor Shettima arrested one Alkali, a social critic and kept him for five hours over allegation of sharing a video and still pictures exposing SEMA Officers while rebagging rice meant for IDPs into Saleable sacks.





Disturbed by negative reports emanating from Borno State, a Government House source who does not want his name mentioned told DRUMBEAT NEWS the governor Shettima is using the police to intimidate people from speaking against him and his administration.



The source added that ”Facebook users in the state are being arrested and forced to sign that they would not share any negative story from the state to the general public”.



Efforts by our reporter to reach the State Police Commissioner on his number 08037013366 was unsuccessful, while the Deputy Commissioner Operation’s was not answering his mobile line 08081776429.



The Borno State Police Commissioner can be reached on 08037013366 while his Deputy in charge of Operations can also be reached on 08081776429.
