A former minister for education and co-leader of the #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) movement, Oby Ezekwesili, tweeted on Tuesday, January 23, that some police officers deployed by the inspector-general of police have illegally detained her and arrested other members of the BBOG movement.
Ezekwezili alleged that it was President Muhammadu Buhari who instructed the police IG to detain her and other members of the BBOG group.
The FG of President .@MBuhari instructed the IG of @PoliceNG to DETAIN ME AND OTHER MEMBERS of @BBOG_Nigeria here at the Unity Fountain. Police men and women have BUILT AN IMPREGNABLE WALL and LOCKED ME IN. I have asked them more than 30 times to LET ME OUT and they REFUSED.
