‘HOW I SPENT 6 DAYS IN DETENTION BECAUSE I CRITICIZED BUHARI ON FACEBOOK’ DAN FULANI

A lecturer at the Kaduna State University, Dr. John Danfulani was arrested late January because of a Facebook post he made which was critical of President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). He was detained by the police, remanded in prison, and charged for “incitement” by the Kaduna State Government.
In addition, Danfulani was issued a query at work and placed on suspension. He has been released on bail after meeting very stringent bail conditions. He wrote an article on his experience which is undemocratic and a sign of a despotic government. He called out Kaduna Governor, Nasir El Rufai for clamping down on freedom of speech, after enjoying unlimited personal freedoms under the government of Goodluck Jonathan.
He said that El Rufai had insulted Christians and Christianity, making a mockery of the religion and its leaders on social media when he was in the opposition, but turns around to express intolerance when he is in government.
Danfulani, a human rights activist, also reaffirmed his commitment to playing his civil duty of holding the government accountable and to a high standard. “No retreat, no surrender,” he said in his article which is fully reproduced below:

On Tuesday, the 2nd of February, 2016 the gate of Kaduna Prison was opened for me to head to my home. That marked the end of a 6-day ordeal in the hands of the Police, Court, and Prison that started at 10 am of the 28th of January, 2016.
The 6-day drama and melodrama were engineered by a letter from the State Command of Nigeria Police(NP) to my employer Kaduna State University (KASU) requesting them to release me for an interview at their headquarters. On receiving the NP’s request dated 21st January 2016, an internal memorandum was raised directing me to unfailingly report to the Police by 10 am of the 25th January, 2016. Because I was out of the country, I couldn’t keep faith with the said date but phoned the contact on the NP’s letter of invitation and told him my difficulties of rescheduling my flight within the short time I got the news of his request. And told him that all things being equal, I would be available on 28th Janaury 2016 by 10 am. The officer was satisfied with my explanation and even sympathized with me.
