Aisha Yesufu, the socio-political activist, has knocked on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led administration over the arrest of investigative journalists in the country.
Aisha also questioned Tinubu to let the world know what he was hiding from Nigerians.
She made this known while reacting to the recent arrest of an investigative journalist and whistle-blower, PIDOMNIGERIA, by the Nigeria Police Force.
Speaking on the matter, Aisha Yesufu, in a video clip on her official X handle on Monday, wondered why a journalist would be “arrested and dehumanized worse than a terrorist”.
She said, “When did investigative journalism become a crime? When did revealing the wrong doings of the government become a crime?
“Is it not the wrongdoing that is supposed to be a crime? With the arrest of PIDOMNIGERIA as well as the harassment of investigative journalists, it is safe to say that Tinubu is very much aware of all the wrongdoings in his illegitimate government.
“He wants to ensure that none of these activities are brought to light. Mr Tinubu, what are you hiding, why are you angry that wrong doings are being exposed by journalists.
“Why are you not focused on correcting the wrongdoings and giving the people good governance.”
