IF YOU THINK YOU VOTED FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH THIS CHANGE ERA YOU HAVE TO THINK TWICE, AUDU MAIKORI ARRESTED OVER TWEET.

There's been rumors all day, it has been confirmed that operatives of DSS have picked up Chocolate City president, Audu Maikori. We learnt that he was picked up in Lagos yesterday morning and has been transported to Abuja where's he currently being held.  His arrest is connected with his recent comments on the Southern Kaduna killings. Days ago, Maikori, retracted a story he shared online where he said that 5 students of the Kaduna state College of Education were killed in the Southern Kaduna crisis.

According to Maikori, after carrying out a detailed investigation that involved the police, he found out that his driver who claimed his brother was also killed, lied to him just to extort money. Seems his retraction was not enough as he is presently in detention. Now a campaign for his freedom is trending across social media.

On Nigerian Twitter right now, the hashtag #FreeAudu is the number one trending topic with rapper and chocolate city head, MI Abaga as the pioneer. Nigerians are asking for Audu's immediate release as well as fight for freedom of speech. See more tweets after the cut...
