BREAKING: AFRICMIL confirms arrest of Chido Onumah, calls for immediate release - ITREALMS

ITREALMS:
The African Centre for Media & Information Literacy (AFRICMIL) is alarmed over the arrest of its Coordinator, Mr Chido Onumah, Sunday evening, by operatives of the State Security Service (SSS), reports ITREALMS.

Mr. Onumah, ITREALMS gathered, was picked up at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his return from a trip abroad.

A close senior member of the centre, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz told ITREALMS that AFRICMIL condemned in strong terms the unjustifiable arrest of Mr Onumah and demanded his immediate and unconditional release.

“Waylaying law-abiding citizens should not be turned into the preoccupation of an entire security outfit,” Abdulaziz said in a press statement made available to ITREALMS.

He also described the arrest of Mr Onumah, as coming on the heels of harassment of other critical voices, which smacks of grotesque days of the Nigerian history that Mr Onumah and his comrades fought steely against.
