The head of the Palestinian community in Nigeria, Abu Ramzi Ibrahim, has reportedly been arrested and detained by security operatives in Abuja. The incident is said to have occurred on Friday, August 22, 2025, and the activist remains in custody as of Monday morning.
Abu Ramzi, a well-known Palestinian-Nigerian who has lived in the country for several years and reportedly studied at a Nigerian university, is widely recognized for his advocacy work and frequent media engagements in support of the Palestinian cause.
According to early information from individuals close to the community, the circumstances surrounding his arrest remain unclear. Efforts to reach the Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria for confirmation or further comment have so far been unsuccessful.
“This must get out to the public. We need to know why he was taken and ensure he is safe,” said a source familiar with the case, who called for immediate media attention and public awareness regarding the development.
Journalists and human rights observers across the country are being urged to follow up on the matter and raise awareness, especially given Abu Ramzi’s prominence in advocating for Palestine through Nigerian media platforms.
As of the time of filing this report, no official statement has been issued by Nigerian authorities regarding the arrest or any charges against him.
This is a developing story.
