Abubakar Karare, a Katsina citizen, has been in detention for the past five days due to a social media post he made. Karare's detention by the police was reportedly ordered by a prominent Katsina oil magnate and owner of Danmarna filling stations, who felt offended by the post.
A Katsina-based human rights group testified that Karare's rights had been violated, as he was innocently arrested and detained for days without trial on a trumped-up charge of defamation of character.
The human rights group has called for the immediate and unconditional release of Karare, condemning his arrest and detention as a severe violation of his fundamental rights.
