Delta State-based activist, Comrade Israel Joe, has been apprehended by soldiers during a protest against economic hardship.
The police, planning to charge him with terrorism, accuse him of orchestrating the demonstration against the rising cost of living in the state. Despite invitations from law enforcement, the protest proceeded, leading to Joe’s arrest.
Security was tightened in anticipation of the protest, signaling government unease. Joe, committed to a peaceful protest, finds himself detained, sparking concerns over freedom of expression and civil rights.
