BREAKING: Blogger Detained Over Facebook Post Accusing Kogi LG Chairman, Dare Michael, Of Hoarding Motorcycles

A blogger, Shade Kakun, has been arrested and detained after alleging that Mr. Zacchaeus Dare Michael, Chairman of Kabba/Bunu Local Government under Governor Usman Ododo's administration in Kogi State, received 15 motorcycles for distribution but only delivered one.

Kakun made the allegation in a Facebook post, which he later deleted. Since then, he has been held in police custody at the Kabba Police Station.

Prince Godwin, who identified himself as Kakun’s brother, disclosed that the blogger has been in detention for seven days over the now-deleted post.

“This is a civil matter, yet he's being punished like a criminal. This is unjust, inhumane, and a clear abuse of power. We demand his immediate release and justice! #FreeTheInnocent #SayNoToOppression #JusticeForAll,” he said in Facebook post on Sunday.

In another post, Godwin said, “I will not seat and watch 501 dehumanise my own brother Shade Kakun by asking a question. I will not. NEVER.”

Confirming that he was being pursued by the police, Shade Kakun wrote in a Facebook post on Monday, June 30: “Good afternoon my good people from kabba kakun Omofa Kayode John Carry police officer come to my house yesterday night because of truth is better.

“I know who show you my house.

“I know am not only person talking about politician. How many times PDP don't carry police officer find anyone when I post hon Teejay Yusuf, people insulting him e know Carry police officer to find anybody why me i want to know?”
