It is no longer news that a certain young man of the southern Kaduna stock by the name of Mr Steven Kefas has been in detention for over 90 days now. He was arrested by the Kaduna authorities in Port Harcourt on charges of cybercrime with intent to incite the public and probably cause an uprising. Even though I am not a  "learned" gentleman, I know that all cases except treason and homicide are bailable. All attempts to release him on bail have proved abortive. I, and other concerned  citizens have tried to reach out to  those who were offended by the detainee but we were rebuffed. Forgiveness is not on their table. We asked that he be released so we can talk to him as older brothers but they wouldn't hear of it! And the draconian regime has not deemed it fit to either let him go on bail or convict him so that he can appeal his case at a higher court. Admittedly, Steven Kefas may have done some untoward things that has irked those who think they will be in power

The Global Coordinator of Nigerians in Diaspora under the aegis of Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria (GCSDN) Frederick Odorige has, in his daily Op-ed expressed his view on the arbitrary incaceration of Former Presidential candidate of African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore Read his views below: The Retired Muhammadu Buhari that I know will not release Omoyele Sowore. He will harden his heart like Pharaoh until something happens. Left with Buhari, Sowore will be in detention as long as Buhari will be in office. Buhari has no respect for the rule of law. He has no respect for the Nigerian constitution either. He strongly believes that he is above the law. He disrespected 5 court orders to release Sambo Dasuki. He disobeyed several court orders to release Nnamdi Kanu. He disobeyed 5 courts to release El-Zakzaky. He even disobeyed the order of the ECOWAS court. Buhari’s brain is filled with the years of military decrees. Once a soldier, always a soldier! A leopa

In an interview with Legit.ng, Amaechi revealed that self-defense is enough to keep himself protected when he goes abroad. ”What do you mean by that? Scared of who? I’m going to Geneva, let them come. You know there is something called self-defence? Abegi! ”I will go to America or any place I have function to attend to. The solution is not in attacking the politicians”. Speaking on the solution to Nigeria’s problem which he believes should be followed instead of attacking politicians, Amaechi stated that the Nigerian economy has to be changed from consumption to production
