Today a #journalist, #JonesAbiri in #Nigeria is marking TWO YEARS in custody without trial by a democratic govt, not by a terrorist organisation?
And we are not all offended.
I reject to be silent, #WhereisJonesAbiri? Is he dead or what?
Ngerian Government must provide answers.
2 years ago #JonesAbiri, editor and publisher of the Weekly Source newspaper, was arrested by DSS.
He has remained in detention. Without trial or family visits.
How can a human being be held in secret services detention for 2-years without trial, access to lawyers or family?
The travails of journalist #JonesAbiri is a question mark on rule of law in Buhari’s Nigeria.
Where is justice? Where is freedom?

There are times when silence is not golden. One such moment is when a human being is detained for 2-years; without trial or access to lawyers and family. #JonesAbiri #Nigeria

#JonesAbiri have been detained without trial for two years in a country that prides itself as a democracy.
Our silence is the ONLY reason Nigerian officials feel they can do whatever they want, even if it is against the law. #Journalismisnotacrime
Ahmad Salkida asked:
Are you a citizen that care about other citizens, regardless of their background? Let us start a crusade to force the government to respect every single court order? #JonesAbiri is one out of thousands of citizens detained against court orders or against the rule of law.
If #JonesAbiri is guilty, hell no, he is not, since he never got a day in court, we must not punish his five children?
It is significant that the child MUST NOT be overlooked when the state chooses to take the parents, particularly the breadwinner, away?
#WhereisJonesAbiri
There’s no law that gives Nigerian authorities the right to detain a citizen for 2 yrs without trial, if there is, can any lawyer tell me where in the law?
If #JonesAbiri is not charged to court or released now, it is safe to conclude that he is dead. He may have died in custody.
