In 2024, Daniel was abducted, arrested and detained for 10 days by police officers over these same publications.
The case is now being prosecuted in the name of the Inspector-General of Police. Investigating alleged wrongdoing in the public interest is now a ground for deploying the criminal justice system against journalists.
The police cannot continue to be used as an instrument for settling scores, intimidating journalists or shielding public officials from scrutiny.
This is an abuse of state power that should concern every Nigerian who believes in accountability and the freedom of the press.

The first boy called himself Ono. We went to the same church. We avoided each other in public, so that we might not be betrayed.

Nigerians!
Please do it for the woman that pretended to be mad and hid her daughter in a ditch so she won’t be taken, do it for Pelumi Onifade, the victims of EndSARS massacre, the victims of Owo massacre, our brothers and sisters in the North that we don’t even get to hear of

URGENT PUBLIC APPEAL
I never imagined having to make a post like this, but I desperately need your help.
On October 31, while covering a wedding at Oriental Hotel, Lagos, my bag was stolen from inside the bride's room.
The bag contained my MacBook Pro M1 and
FOUR external hard drives holding approximately FIVE weddings yet to be delivered to my clients.
These are not just files. They are people's once in a lifetime memories, months of hard work and my livelihood.
Thankfully, we have obtained CCTV footage showing the individual entering, taking my bag and leaving the hotel.
I'm offering a N500,000 REWARD for credible information leading to the identification of this individual and recovery of my belongings through the appropriate authorities.
Please you can send a message or call this number for any update 09033892670
Please guys help me repost abeg, this is very important please. 🙏🏾

AI is no longer a quiet revolution, and it is changing the way we relate to the written word. In my latest for @afrocritik, I delve (😉) into the recent spate of AI allegations and why I think it’s more a race issue than a literary merit problem.

new literary prize, and a Nigerian writer takes the first win.
Olúwatúnmiṣe Ọ̀tọ̀lórìn Akìgbógun has emerged as the winner of the inaugural Élékéré Short Story Prize for Sweet Salt, earning the $500 award.
The story, inspired by a dream about his grandmother, explores inheritance through the lens of intergenerational trauma, family history and the things left unsaid.
With hundreds of submissions from Black writers across Africa and the diaspora, the inaugural prize marks an exciting step for Élékéré Press and its commitment to bringing Black and African stories to the forefront.
The prize returns in 2027.
