Two men, Emmanuel Larry and Victor Udoka, are currently languishing in a correctional facility in Kabba, Kogi State, for protesting against President Muhammadu Buhari.
A viral video captures the moment the duo were accosted by a group of men in a community in Lokoja for carrying placards with the inscription ”Buhari Must Go” and painting the same message on a roadside structure.
One of the men is seen in the footage chastising the two: “… And you are writing ‘ Buhari Must Go’. Who told you Kogi is not for Buhari? We, the Kogi youths, are for Buhari. That’s why we are not going to accommodate you guys. We’ll deal with you,” the middle-aged man, who appeared to be the leader of the group, said.
Police in Kogi State have confirmed the arrest of two persons caught yesterday midnight allegedly carrying out ‘smear campaign against Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari’ in Lokoja, the state capital.
Ayuba Edeh, the state Police Commissioner, explained that at about 2:30 a.m. yesterday, policemen attached to the command arrested two young men.
They were allegedly painting buildings and carrying posters with the inscription ‘Buhari Must Go’.
The Commissioner disclosed that while the people have the right to protest, however, he said it must be done lawfully without inciting the public.
According to him, the young men could not have been protesting at the wee hours of the night as being insinuated, as painting walls, buildings and pasting anti-Buhari posters cannot be termed as peaceful protest.
