The arrest of Audu Maikori by operatives of DSS
following comments he made about Southern Kaduna killings continues to generate
more reactions from Nigerians. Now, his partner of many years, Paul
Okeugo has just issued a statement to say: 'We are working to secure his
release and have reached out to friends who realize the importance of sustaining
democratic ideals in a country as fractured as ours'. Read his full statement
after the cut..
Dear Friends,
My name is Paul Okeugo and I have been Audu Maikori's friend
& Partner for years and know him to be a very honorable and
passionate man. Audu genuinely cares about Nigeria and everyone in
it . He is not one to spread false information or advocate violence . Together
we have strived to create a better future for all young people in Nigeria. Audu
exemplifies the kind of qualities we sorely need in this society.
Today Audu has been picked up by law enforcement agents over his
advocacy about the killings in #SouthernKaduna and he is presently being held
in custody.
I would like to reach out to fans and friends of Audu and our
company that we all should please exercise patience and remain calm.
We appreciate the massive love and support we have received and
continue to count on that goodwill . There is no Chocolate City without all of
you!
We are working to secure his release and have reached out to
friends who realize the importance of sustaining democratic ideals in a country
as fractured as ours.
God bless
Paul Okeugo
#FreeAudu
