I am calling on Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), and on the Tinubu administration to immediately step in and facilitate the safe return and recognition of the Nigerian activist hero who participated in the Gaza Sumud Flotilla. This was not just another protest, it was a mission of moral courage. The Sumud Flotilla sailed in the face of military blockade, carrying nothing but humanitarian aid and the conscience of the world. Among those who braved that voyage was a Nigerian, a citizen who embodied the spirit of resistance, empathy, and international solidarity. If Nigeria can send peacekeepers abroad, we must also protect peace activists who stand up for justice globally. This is not a political issue, it’s a humanitarian and national pride issue. The world should see that Nigeria does not abandon her citizens who act on the right side of history. Abike Dabiri and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must use every diplomatic and consular channel to ensure this activist’s welfare, safety, and recognition as a symbol of Nigerian conscience abroad. Let it be known that in a time of global silence, a Nigerian voice spoke, and Nigeria stood behind it. Tinubu, Minister Tuggar, Ambassador Bianca, and Abike Dabiri must urgently call on the Israeli Ambassador, Michael Freeman, to guarantee the safety of Okey Nnorom while he remains in IDF custody. Nigeria should also demand his immediate and unconditional release, just as other nations like Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have successfully done for their detained citizens. Okey Nnorom stood for humanity; now humanity must stand for him. Salute to courage. Salute to humanity. 🇳🇬✊🏽 Activist Okey Vitalis Nnorom who joined the Omar AlMokhtar Flotilla sailing alongside the Global Sumud Flotilla, remains in detention, despite earlier false reports claiming he was handed over to the Nigerian embassy in Jordan. The occupation authorities deliberately obfuscated information and misled lawyers about the detainees’ status.https://x.com/WearThePeaceCo/status/1975960797323862368?t=hrDRnHf2n8cQvOmT69WIGw&s=19

Well, nobody send am dat one o! If it was to make name for himself or ingratiate himself with fellow activists, then he has done it because i didn’t know of his existence until now. How i wish Nigerian activists can bind themselves together to protest the bandits/terrorists killings, massive looting and hunger in the country. |

He should remain in detention... |

Did he tell Nigeria when he was embarking on the voyage to violate IDF blockade? He should be tried and jailed. Their leader Geta Thurbberg has since been deported, she never protested about other detainees. |

Nobody sent him to rescue the Palestinians when his own people have been under the oppression of state backed terrorists |

jchioma:We know your type,dismissive and quick to deflect. He is Nigerian, and your comparisons to other national ills won’t deter us or erase his plight. We will rally to Okey’s aid. He is one of ours, and nothing must happen to him while he’s in custody. We demand his immediate, unconditional release, now. Free OkeyNnorom Free Palestine

That man is definitely different from the ones we have littered all over naira land . Real life is different from online after all |

For your mind, Igbo man do activism for nothing? |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by malali(op): 12:02am On Oct 09, 2025 |
WesleyPepper:The ones on Nairaland making excuses are clearly paid. Okey Nnorom is not a troublemaker, he’s a man with a heart anchored in pure humanity. Don’t let these paid commenters twist the story. Most of them collect small stipends from,you know who. We must raise our voices now before the next headline reads, “He tripped, fell, and died in IDF custody.” We’ve seen this playbook too many times before. Nothing must happen to Okey Nnorom. We are fully aware that he is being held by the IDF. President Tinubu should summon the Israeli Ambassador immediately and demand an official guarantee of his safety. Because silence at this point is complicity. |

I am confused, are igbos no longer jews? Why is Israel detaining their own people malali: |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by malali(op): 4:52am On Oct 09, 2025 |
samstradam: Please forgive the confused Nigerians that make a case for the Jews.This is an example that the Zionists Jews dont care about anybody. They will lock up the whole Igbo people without batting an eyelid. |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by Biafrannuke: 4:55am On Oct 09, 2025 |
Let's see whether dabiri and all the nairaland lovers of Hamas will love him and fight for his release. |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by malali(op): 5:03am On Oct 09, 2025 |
Biafrannuke: At least you are lucky you were not the one locked up !! Imagine after all the support for the genocide......they locked you up and we still had to beg for you. |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by Biafrannuke: 5:14am On Oct 09, 2025 |
malali:you can go pick up a gun and join Hamas terrorists and stop disturbing our peace here. |

| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by Predictor3: 6:14am On Oct 09, 2025 |
malali:He will be freed. But you shouldn't be surprised that majority of the people against him here are ibos. They think the war is a war between Christians and Muslims |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by Godjone(m): 6:36am On Oct 09, 2025 |
So he was among that fraud the IDF uncovered some days ago. The IDF should lock him up and throw the keys in the dead sea. He deserves to rotte in jail |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by Godjone(m): 6:39am On Oct 09, 2025 |
You keep using this method for long but it is not selling. We against Hamas are people who hate Islamic terrorists and terrorism but those of you in support are same people who back here at home showed religious sympathy to Boko Haram because they are Muslims. Continue liking terrorists simply because they practices same religion with you Predictor3: |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by Coldspice: 6:55am On Oct 09, 2025 |
malali:If they jail him in Israel, what will you do? Abeg shift. |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by Zhtq: 6:56am On Oct 09, 2025 |
Who sent him there? IDF should hold him there. |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by malali(op): 6:57am On Oct 09, 2025 |
Predictor3:That’s exactly why they keep missing out politically, concepts like loyalty and national interest seem foreign to them. The same people they’re busy defending are simply using them as convenient pawns. |
| Re: Nigerian Activist Okey Nnorom Held by IDF After Gaza Flotilla by malali(op): 7:00am On Oct 09, 2025 |
saintkel:All of you sponsoring chaos in Nigeria, will be arrested. Its just a matter of time, Nigeria terrorism is sponsored by disgruntled politicians. |
