Solomon Akuma, a pharmacist detained by the Muhammadu Buhari regime has finally regained his freedom. Akuma has been under illegal detention since his arrest on April 2, 2020, in Abia State for tweeting that he would 'pay a Russian sniper to eliminate (President Muhammadu) Buhari and (Abba) Kyari (Buhari’s former Chief of Staff)' in response to a Twitter post asking 'if $1m hits your account, your next move?'
SaharaReporters had on December 31 reported that Akuma was transferred from Kuje Correctional Centre in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to the Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre, Niger State.

The court said there was no valid charge before the court and that the matter was not diligently prosecuted. The defence counsel, Emmanuel Ukaegbu, while raising an objection to the amended charge, said his client would not take the plea on the ground that he had not seen the amended charge.He insisted that his client must see the charge preferred against him before taking his plea.

That when I filed an application for my discharge and release. The Prosecution also filed an application to the Honourable court to vacate its Judgment and amend the charge already struck out.
