“We condemn in its entirety the gestapo manner in which a Bayelsa based Journalist and Publisher, Jones Abiri was re-arrested by men suspected to be men of the Department of State Services," Adeyanju said.Concerned Nigerians, a human rights group, has condemned the rearrest of Jones Abiri, a Bayelsa-based journalist.
According to his lawyer, the Federal Ministry of Justice is set to arraign him for treasonable felony. Stating that the action of the DSS is an injustice, Adeyanju said: “We condemn in its entirety the gestapo manner in which a Bayelsa based Journalist and Publisher, Jones Abiri was rearrested by men suspected to be men of the Department of State Services.
“The injustice being meted on Jones Abiri is troubling and it further attests to the fact that Nigeria is fast drifting into fascism where people will be tagged enemies of the state for being critical of the government. If this kind of behaviour continues, it’s going to result in journalists being afraid to ask questions and people being afraid to stand up for the country.
