Fisayo Soyombo Urged To Go Into Hiding After Report Of Planned Arrest by shehuolayinka(op): 11:31am On Oct 22, 2019
After groundbreaking investigative report, Right Activist claims ‘State’ coming after Fisayo Soyombo

Human Right Activist and Lead Counsel for #EndSars campaigner, Abdul Mahmud says the judiciary, Nigerian Police and Prison officials are now working in cahoots to ensnare undercover investigative reporter Fisayo Soyombo.

Nigerian authorities according to an unconfirmed report is planning arrest him for his groundbreaking report into corruption at a Police Station in Lagos and the Ikoyi Prison.

The first instalment of the three-part investigation by Fisayo Soyombo, a former editor of The ICIR, The Cable and a contributor to Al Jazeera, detailed how Nigerian policemen and officers of the prison service “pervert the course of justice in their quest for ill-gotten money”.

In the second part of the investigation published on Monday by The ICIR and The Cable, he exposed “how the courts short-change the law, and the prisons are themselves a cesspool of the exact reasons for which they hold inmates.”

Mahmud in a series of tweets on his official twitter handle, said the state (Buhari led government) is planning to file a charge under the S.29 of the Prison Act 2018.

He said, “The gods have spoken to their Great Oracle. Fisayo, run; The ICIR run. The state is coming after you all for “espionage”.

Fisayo’s bail will be revoked. A charge will be filed under S.29 of the Prison Act 2018. The gods have spoken

The judiciary, prisons and police are now working in cahoots to ensnare Fisayo. So says the gods.

Disappear. Don’t play the hero!

instead of the stupid senile goat called buhari to lend to speak up. he would rather send his boys to harass the journalists on ground of espionage.

if buhari can raise ganduje's hands up and tell people to vote him after watching that tape, then Nigerians should not doubt the authenticity of this verse at all.

nor be today end SARS campaign start. but the useless goat Buhari would rather ignore nigeria and go to Russia wer he still wont offer a damn tin

A country that jails protesters but pardons terrorists and bandits. Only God can help us in this country.

Isn't this brave investigative journalist meant to be awarded for his endurance and heroic show of patriotism after suffering physically to expose the rot in our correctional system?

The guy should just lay low sha because the youths he is trying to liberate are not ready. They abandoned Sowore in the jail. That is someone who was living comfortably abroad but thought it necessary to challenge the government on our behalf. Youths no even come out to protest.

Lol. But when it happens, his same Yoruba kin will bring up another "sophisticated" reason why he did wrong and they are not going to bail him.
