We Still Don't Know Why @obyekes Was Detained



Twitter and other social media sites were agog with insults and counter insults due to @obyezeks' tweet of her arrest detainment by SSS. Keep in mind that the owner of this twitter handle is believed to be former Minister of Education of the Federal Republic and also was a co-founder of Transparency International (some would say Ironic). Many people immediately turned this into another political argument and others, including herself, made reference to her stance against the kidnap of more than 200 girls by Boko Haram (no longer news by the way) and her support for the #Bringbackourgirls movement as her reason for DETAINMENT.
I just have a couple of questions..
1. Can Mrs. Ezekwesili confirm to us that the SSS detained her on grounds of her support for bringing back our girls or that they even remotely hinted that she was an enemy of state because she says government should bring back our girls?
2. Is this the first time that the SSS is detaining a citizen of this country?
3. Had there always been a secret agenda when security operatives detain every Uche, Femi and Musa or did it just begin when people started calling for our girls to be brought back?
4. Just how many people have missed their "international" flights or almost did due to security agencies? And how many of them blamed the president for it (according to her supporters)?

5. And all those coming to "her aid", did she mention that this was about political parties or you are just ready to cry wolf once a pin drops.

I respect this lady a lot that is why I am interested in these answers and want these issues to be clarified. It ridicules every shred of morality and virtue of Nigerians when people politicise the suffering of these girls and worse still the horror of their parents and loved ones living in the uncertainty of these circumstances. These are people's sisters, cousins, children, friends who have been kidnapped for months now and are going through whatever evil imaginable (and unimaginable too), but here we are with people making political statements and capitalising on the suffering of these families. But what choice do they have(the families) than to be exploited like this, after all, these are the only people who act like they care and are atleast taking action....be it controversial or not.

Do we really mean for these girls to be brought back or its just a twitter handle for us? All of you should remember that deir is ********* *coughs*. Dats all.
