He must be from the south

Hmm Nigeria power show

This results are normal for renal investigation. Only liver enzymes (ALT & ÀST) are elevated

Release him

The reporter hasn't get to the root of the issue, I guess

Sahara reporter and malicious news how does these result show that he has kidney disease

starofmercy All these will end.customs boss will go because he is part of the cabal

Ehen let him face the consequences of his act.

Zoological republic. Nigeria is irredeemable not in a billion years

If this is true, it's bad and never promoting the image of Nigeria

So is it wrong to be a whistleblower in the zoo?

Someone that should be given national honours

Should he not be promoted in a sane country? But Nigeria we are despicable

He should not die o.

Sahara Reporters brought in this government. They are complicit in all its evils.

Honesty doesn't 0ay in this country. Can we all see this? How do we fight corruption?

Why is it that those who try to be honest, if they run into trouble, nobody helps?

Those responsible for addressing criminality are the criminals. We need a leader...

Those responsible for addressing criminality are the criminals. We need a leader...

E be things for this side of the world!

This is the kind of government Sahara reporters support where the bad politicians don’t want to be questioned or exposed for their evil deeds.We must all join hands to liberate ourselves from the modern slavery by these evil politicians.We are have a role to play to gain freedom

Will EFCC and ICPC investigate this issue of corruption in government.

there is no evidence of Kidney disease in these test, at best is derange values if the liver function which is likely an indication of a liver pathology. Sahara reporters can consider having their medical team review these things before posting.

If anything happen to him his blood will be upon them.

UN_HRC UNHumanRights COME RESCUE A GOOD OFFICER. OR IS IT NOW A CRIME TO THE RIGHT THING IN AFRICA?

His kidney disease could allow him commit crime but won’t allow him stay in jail abi. Make he die there

yemi_llionaire The tests here are not suggestive of kidney disease. But that still doesn’t justify illegal detention

Nigeria. A great nation where patriots are thrown into jail, while saboteurs and insane individuals are promoted and rewarded. Every fucking thing is wrong with this country.

This is the fate of the just in my country. And Nigeria isn’t worth dying for. A country where the criminals r walking freely with escorts while the saints suffer. God shall every one of us.

We have demonic people in power. Tinubu and atiku cannot be in that office of presidency.

The matter is quite unfortunate but, based on his results, he does not seem to have kidney disease...just clearing out that one.

What a country! You speak the truth they come after you! You don’t speak the truth they still call for your heard!

Allah will shame those cartel distroying Niger but we must do the right come 2023

This man deserves better treatment. Why detain a man who is doing his job? He did not allow smugglers and smuggling, rather than detaining the smugglers you are discipling a man who is doing his work. Shame on all of you.

Are you serious? Reminds me Abacha days, oh yeah. Buhari is Abacha's right hand man, same constitution violaters administrations.

Nigeria system oppresses honest and law abiding citizen but rewards criminals, terrorists,outlaws etc.

This cannot be the story. There are other issues. Perhaps a reliable media organization should take it up.

Sahara reporters should do better. There is no evidence of kidney disease in the test reports.

Ahhh this country 🤔

This country always punish good people and reward bad people..what a country 😒🙄

When it comes to matter like this efcc no dey get time, icpc too haven't received order.

Nigeria 😂

Sahara liars always carrying one-sided stories to whip up anti government sentiments. The custom officer has decided to spread baseless allegations without concrete evidence. He wanted to attract attention through social media

If anything happen to him whoever is holding him will explain to Nigerians what nonsense. U let evil politicians go when the fake illness. Evil dwelling nation

That is Nigeria for you.

Till he will die....evils country....im sure they will poison him kill....they good at it

That is a country we lived in for u, full of mediocrcy

If we had a working government, this officer would get promoted. Who you want tell? No body to report to. From Top to Bottom are irresponsible. Government in Nigeria is self serving, plus immediate family, Nigerians should DIE, dey don't care.

The Ocean never swallow a person with whose legs it does not come in contact. If you want Nigeria to be better, Vote for Peter Obi, stop complaining about hardship anymore if you don't wish to cast your vote for the person with integrity&respect your rights. Vote for Peter Obi

Make una just dey play. Is better we vote out this corrupt leaders. Truth is always bitter despite their laws and policy

🧐🧐

This man did the right thing!! Yet they detained him, God abeg,, this country is gone

Oh God save this Country

Failed government

Once upon a time there was a country 🤦🏽‍♂️💔

But where is their boss, didn't he reveal to a national assembly subcommittee that smuggling through the Northern border is going on? It was on national TV. Why is anybody victimizing his subordinate if he had made similar disclosures? E get as e be o.

Atiku is a loser, a liar, a cheat, a con artist, a manipulator, a deceptor, an egoistic egocentric propagandist and a double faced hypocrite. Nigerians be warned, Atiku will be dangerous than Buhari. He is incompetent, unreliable, oppressive and always dismissive of others

Too bad instead of rewarding him they are treating him reckless

Nigeria is irredeemable

zoo

What a country

No matter what the callous MBuhari does to the guy, he is a HERO!!!

They would’ve considered him if was a big man with name even if his claim is fake 🤔

Is like Serap never see this news. THIS GUY NEED HELP

Imagine. Despite knowing the state of his health, they should kuku kill him now. I weep for my country 🇳🇬

Am sure he is not on the side of the ruling party where his sins will be forgiven.

There is need detaining him indefinitely for exposing a ring of economic saboteurs, but if his action has contravened any extant rule or regulation, he should be charged to court.

Expired contraption called Nigeria is a failed state. His honesty has landed him in prison, what is the moral justification to this ~~~~

Welcome to zoological republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬. Where to speak the truth is a great crime that's why the terrorist government of the zoo is still holding Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Who did this officer offend?

Wahala everywhere
