A Nigerian journalist and popular media publisher, Mr. Abubakar Sidiqu,
\npublisher of http:\/\/AbuSidiqu.com<\/a> <http:\/\/abusidiqu.com\/<\/a>> was picked up by
\nmembers of the State Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Monday
\nAugust 8th 2016.<\/p>\n

He was picked up for a media story detailing alleged corruption and
\npolitics involving the chairman of the EFCC.<\/p>\n

AbuSidiqu is being charged with a frivolous charge of “Cyber stalking.”<\/p>\n

We call on Nigerians, humanitarians and conscientious people around the
\nworld to donate towards justice for @AbuSidiqu.<\/p>\n

Injustice to one is injustice to all. First they start with their enemies
\nthen they move on to their friends. If we don’t fight for the one, who will
\nfight for us when they soon come for us, The Holy scriptures say that
\noppression is worse than murder.<\/p>\n

Nigeria’s EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu has been repudiated by the courts for
\nbehaving in totalitarian fashion and in an above-the-law posture. The
\ncommission is also accused of selectively persecuting while overlooking
\ncrimes by party members, ruling politicians and security officials and
\nfriends of the commission.<\/p>\n

There are 350 bodies buried in Nigeria yet to be investigated 8 months
\nafter the crime and 5 months after the media exposed their secret burial.
\nThe media must be protected and the State must not be granted unlimited
\nimpunity in corruption and even murder and atempted concealment.<\/p>\n

We call on one and all to protect Nigeria and Nigerians and ensure freedom
\nof the Press.<\/p>\n

We will be suing the Federal government over a partial application of the
\nlaw and the use of the law as a tool of oppression and persecution. We have
\nlawyers on standby.<\/p>\n

Donate for justice for AbuSidiqu and justice and freedom for all Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Dr. Peregrino Brimah; @EveryNigerian<\/p>\n
