Security operatives arrest Mahdi Shehu Again
Shehu who was just granted bail by a Kaduna State High Court, was picked up at about 11am, his son Buhari Mahdi said.
“We don’t know if it was an arrest or an invitation. But they (DSS) picked him up at his clinic in Unguwar Dosa, Kaduna, around 11:00 a.m.,” he said, declining further comment.
The activist was charged to court in December 2024, for sharing alleged misleading video on his social media handle.
The court granted him bail on January 9, 2025, on a N3 million bail bond, with two prominent clerics as sureties.
In a series of tweets at the weekend, Shehu appreciated his supporters for their concern, support, and prayers.
“During my arrest, detention, and incarceration spanning 12 days, I have a duty and obligation to thank the following classes of people. Those who were genuinely worried, concerned, supportive, and prayerful. I felt your prayers, and they served the purposes they were meant for.”
“Those who were happy and celebrative. I am thanking you because you emboldened me and served as a seasoning to my world view. You occupy that row in a stadium who celebrates any club that is winning for that day.
“Those who sat on the fence. This class, though, neither concerned, prayerful, supportive, nor celebrative, yet offer their silence or indifference as pond for those willing to come for combative fishing. One day, they will belong somewhere, either as victims or villains, willy-nilly,” Shehu had said.
He also apologised for his inability to respond to over 4 million messages across various social media platforms and handles
