recounting Sowore's travails, how the leader of the Islamic Movement in
Nigeria, Ibrahim el-Zakzakky and his wife spent over three years in detention
in violation of court orders granting them bail and ordering their release, and
former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki being held in detention since
2015 in defiance of several court orders, including one by the ECOWAS appellate
court.
LIB also reported that Punch Newspaper accused the
Information and Culture Minister, Lai Mohammed of forgetting how as an
opposition spokesman in 2014, he was harassed by the SSS and accused of
“loitering". It also alleged that the Minister has been vigorously
pressing for anti-hate speech laws to restrict the social media.
Reacting to the notice, Oyo State's House of Assembly
Speaker Debo Ogundoyin commended the newspaper for being courageous.
Debo tweeted;
Today's @MobilePunch editorial, its resolution to
henceforth prefix @MBuhari with Major General & refer to his adminstration
as regime in protest against autocracy is another huge feat renewing our hope
in the media as a strong voice ready to hold govt. accountable &
responsible
