Nigerian Police Release Activist Following Detention Amid Revolutionary Movement Pressure

The Nigerian Police Force has released a prominent activist following intense public pressure and growing support for a revolutionary movement demanding justice and accountability. The activist, who had been held in what supporters described as an “unjust, unwarranted, and entirely unlawful detention,” was freed late Thursday night.
The release marks a significant moment for the movement, which has been calling for systemic reform and an end to what it describes as state repression. According to sources close to the activist, the police had no legal grounds for the arrest and were forced to capitulate under the weight of public scrutiny and advocacy.
Supporters gathered online and in the streets to celebrate the release, hailing it as a victory for civic resistance and a warning to authorities against future abuses of power.
Police officials have yet to issue a formal statement regarding the reasons for the detention or release.
The statement reads:
”The Nigerian Police Force has finally capitulated to the demands of our revolutionary movement. After subjecting me to an unjust, unwarranted, and entirely unlawful detention, they had no choice but to release me tonight”.
”However, this is not a victory to be celebrated with fanfare. It is not a moment for self-congratulation or eased tongues. It is simply a reminder of what we already knew that when we stand together, when we refuse to bow, even the most oppressive institutions are forced to bend or break!
”I am deeply grateful to every one of you who refused to look away, particularly our strong and ever-firm legal team, the advocates for justice, and the resisters who marched on the streets through this ordeal”.
”You all stood firm, raised your voices, and showed up in person, online, and at home in the diaspora”.
”It is your unwavering solidarity that made this outcome inevitable”.
”This moment is not an end. It is fuel. It is proof that unity works and that resistance is not futile. The struggle continues, fiercer and more focused than ever, UNTIL WE WIN!

My resignation not admission of guilt – Nnaji
My decision to step aside is therefore a personal choice, not an admission of guilt. It is a principled decision to respect the sanctity of due process and to preserve the integrity of the judicial proceedings currently before the court

The Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Geoffrey Nnaji, says his resignation from President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet is not an admission of guilt but a personal choice.
Nnaji, who was appointed in August 2023, announced his resignation in a letter to the President on Tuesday, expressing appreciation for the opportunity to serve.
This is contained in a statement he signed in Abuja.
Nnaji was appointed as minister by the administration of President Bola Tinubu in August 2023, but resigned amidst controversies surrounding allegations of certificate forgery.
He noted that over the past week, an orchestrated, sustained campaign of falsehood, politically motivated, and malicious attacks was waged against him across print, electronic and social media platforms.
Nnaji emphasized that these unfounded allegations and media distortions not only caused personal distress but also distracted him from work.
He had put in five decades building a reputation anchored on hard work, honour and service to humanity.
Nnaji said that he could not, in good conscience, allow these distortions to cast a shadow over the noble objectives of the present administration.
“My decision to step aside is therefore a personal choice, not an admission of guilt. It is a principled decision to respect the sanctity of due process and to preserve the integrity of the judicial proceedings currently before the court, ” he said.
Nnaji expressed optimism that in the end, justice will vindicate the just.
