Our attention has been drawn to the arrest and detention of a 38-year-old blogger and publisher of an online news medium, Abia Facts, Mr. Iroegbu Emenike by the State Security Service (SSS) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State at about 1:00 pm on Tuesday, September 6, 2016.
According to the wife of the blogger, Mrs. Ekaette Emenike
Iroegbu, the blogger was arrested by three (3) SSS operatives who
invaded their Uyo residence in a Gestapo style in a black jeep. The
operatives took away the two phones of Mrs. Emenike; the bloggers own
phones and laptop, etc. After ransacking their apartment, they whisked
the blogger away without disclosing the reason for his arrest and their
destination.
