Truth and justice is indeed dead in Nigeria.

SERAPNigeria

But why is Owombo, described as a brilliant man by his brother, calling Tinubu's name in this? His brother now gives an excuse of inexperience? Effectively saying Owombo was dumb. Could the insanity allegation be true?

Why this APC government behaviour is getting worse every day

Nigeria is a country where you jailed for standing up against injustice and corruption .. Biggest scam of a country

And U say Naija go ever better with dis kind criminals wey we get for govt? A man dat should be awarded for His bravery and courage to expose criminality in APC govt is now being detained may God help Us. That’s 🇳🇬 for U tomorrow one stupid pastor will tell U to pray for 🇳🇬 😆🤣

This is why Nigeria and this world is the wrong planet to be in the good always suffer,where are the human rights lawyers and pro bonos

What where you expecting.

SirBosco12 Na woah, why is it that, saying absolute truth of our ill-society behavior from eyes of witnesses are always attract heavy punishment from ... Or is this reports published from accredited news media are not true?

But I thought 'sai baba na mai gaskiya'. may be baba is not yet aware of this case. This guy should be given an opportunity to prove his case. This is not an issue of Yoruba or Igbo but an issue of victimization. Please CSOs should stand up for this guy

This is total injustice to him.

What a shame. We NIGERIANS should fight for this officer . We can't keep quiet when a patrotic citizen did good and got punished by the corrupt supervisor who ought to compensate him . How long shall we continue like this ..

Rather than finding solutions to stopping the evil, the informant is punished. What a hell

SERAPNigeria

What happen to all these civil society organizations and media houses across the country? Abi food full their mouths

Why is the man still being detained for speaking truth. Please release him now.

FFK and FESTUS would never speak about this oh! Feeding money boys 😂 fkeyamo realFFK

Injustice and corruption is the pride of MBuhari ,NGRSenate .

Understand the wash of President Integrity and Corruption fighter. Nigeria is just a big joke

Looters don't always want the truth. The government is not happy with him for exposing what's going on in those asizes. The customs official benefit from the trade and while is it that one of them will expose it. Shameless govt looters.

The entire nation has this patriotic fellow. Where are the NAS Members, the Yorubas his kinsmen, SERAP, NLC, CSOs and the noise makers. Shame on all of you. We will set him free immediately we takeover the leadership next year. ObiDatti in my mind.

YarKafanchan Free him immediately

Fulani government has destroy this country beyond repair

Nigerians we must add our voice

SavvyRinu please check this story out. Let's start an online campaign to free this good and patriotic police man

unfortunately the guy has been abandoned by the masses. reasons why most people would choose to join the looting gang because Nigerians are not worth fighting for . very sad indeed SMH

I'm ashamed of Nigeria. Shame to all those who are involved in the process.

I weep for the country called nigeria

Get your tickets 🎟

This APC govt is the worst of them all. People need to leave tribal and vote Peter Obi because nah everyone go still suffer am again if APC or PDP get the power

They don't want this country to get better.

Injustice everywhere! How this routine country e go come repair sef? When patriotic citizens are punished unjustly

YarKafanchan Very unfortunate country 😕

So pathetic 😭

urchilla01 I knew this would happen when I saw that video

Zoo Nigeria

Nigeria for you fighting corruption indeed or what can you call this.

The officer have done noble and he will be vindicated surely

Nigeria is a state of Lazy citizens not ready for change just how can this not cause an Outrage

Who will fight for him in this administration where every soul that seeks accountability has been shut off or silenced? May this land help those that seeks to set it free

He is being protected from attack by those he exposed.

Imagine, and someone will tell me to mention vote for Tinubu and Atiku ....

SERAP, NLC and others will keep quiet about this, who will talk next time

This is why we know nigeria as den of robbers.Terrorists enclave,where honesty is punished,evil rewarded and lies regarded and accepted as truth.manipulations at heighest level

Nigeria is not a country for truthful people. But for those who can peddle lies and lies and lies

One of the reasons we want to leave Nigeria next year

Ha... I pity dis country

What a country....a man is detained for saying and exposing the truth....God have mercy

KelvinOHara3

amnesty jdpc_ijebuode kindly mediate

When Obi becomes President he'll be released and celebrated as a true Nigerian Hero!!

He didn't expose anything. He only made wild allegations without evidence so as to attract attention

BUHARI REGIME SPONSORS THE EVIL 😈 GOING ON IN NIGERIA 🇳🇬! EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives

Na wa oo

Please make it louder by tagging the appropriate people and account, this is terrible, unpatriotic

Lawless country indeed

Do we even have law makers?

How long before the people actually wake up If you like dey mumu yourself with this APC government! You have only one chance left! Miss it, and everybody will see the real shege! Vote for Peter obi! That’s the only way people like this guy will be rewarded instead of jailed

woye1 BashirAhmaad ChifeDr Tell you boss to release that Customs officer and stop bringing more shame upon Nigeria.

APC government of crooks. Vote wisely

One of the reasons for fuel scarcity, e0 vil nation Nigeria ; tell me why things will get better? When the President appointed his brothers one Immigration boss ,NNPC boss and Customs boss to destroy Nigeria's economy.

This country nawao if you speak against injustice you’re a criminal

You all see why they resent PO and are doing everything possible to stop him.

The best APC government can offer a reasonable citizen it's sad 😢

What a country

Release him please

This is the reason Nigeria won't be good under this corrupt system that punishes the upright for their uprightness.

This is just a fraction of the shady deals and sabotage going on under the noise of APC....and for exposing it,instead of applauding him like in other clime rather he was locked up

Their days reckoning are coming. So close.

This is one of the reasons we are fighting for a new Nigeria where honesty will form part of our core values and rewarded accordingly. Vote LP

Atiku was once a customs officer who made all his wealth as a customs officer unchallenged and rewarded Vice President. This officer exposed the corruption in the force still detained. You wonder why Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world.

Nigeria happens to him

That's Nigeria for you, simple truth and the innocent person is been held captive under the pretence of detaining him. Nigeria government should as a matter of urgency release the said officer immediately.

Can you see Nigeria, oloribuku ni government yii , Apc Koni da fun yin
