Lai is one of those pushing for social media Bill in other to protect there secret attitude and behaviour while in government & settle score with political enemies

Hmmmm

Seem to me like he doesn't know his right...they should leave him alone...Lie Mohammed is a demon

You saying nigeria police arrested a family man for insulting a senseless politician. I need to really move out of this country. Enough is enough.

This is a Disgrace to the Nigeria State and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria! God is Watching and Nigerians are keeping Vigil! One day, those who are doing this to the Defenseless Citizens of this Country, pay for it! Shame to U Lia

Not only was he arrested, his wife and brothers were detained because he couldn't be found at first . This is tyranny.

Tyrants claiming progressive.

Useless old man

What a country like some Nigerian have not been against Lai Mohammad befor now.

Which law, Mr Lawyer ?

Why's lair Mohammed's face like sour bitter leaf soup?

FG always harassing journalists, freedom of independent press always violated.

By their fruits you shall know them ...... Lai(r) needs no help, we don know am finish.

Nigeria ..... what a country

Nothing wey musa no go see for gate! I hope this is not a curse... God save us in this Country 🙏

Nigeria is indeed in the hands of dogs

Lai Mohammed is the type of man before coming to power will always oppose every bad rules on the masses from the previous Govt, But when he Finally taste Power he lost his Integrity with no Souls. This is what incompetent is. Nigeria leaders are all Scams. They are communist.

And who is Lai Mohammed?

This particular provision of the cyber crimes law is totally unnecessary and stifles criticism of those in power. The tort law of defamation should suffice to checkmate any injurious comments against anybody. Nigeria needs legislators who are alive to their responsibilities

Abeg Mr Lai Lai lie lie leave the man alone ooo and his family

LocusBendi

The matter would be strike out by the Judge

is there anyone that likes LaiMohammed2 ? The baba that everyone insults and have no respect for! The journalist was just stating the obvious ni. We all can see why baba Lie was pushing for the social media bill.

False information has to be discouraged in Nigeria

Sorry Mr journalist,you are not from China or white ,otherwise they will hold an umbrella for you

Lie Muhammed seems not to the son of whom he's arresting and detaining unlawfully, by the time Baba Jolayemi finishes with him, his eyes will clear. Anyways, egbon Rotimi stay strong 💪.

One good thing APC coming onbooard have done for Nigerians is exposing fake Democrats masquerading as true Democrats

May Almighty Allah continue to bless GEJ for signing the FOI bill into law.

He must be freed

What a woow

What a country!

This is arrant nosense, why can't we do things right at least for once ... What a failed project!

Who the fuck is lai muhammed?

An account of how many lies Trump tell daily is in the media worldwide, who is Lai Mohammed an even bigger Liar not o be called out, give by intimidation and abuse of power

Tyrannical Govt

Lai just want to used this guy as scape goat knowing that Nigerians ain't liking him

What a breach of his fundamental right. Now we know why Laid Mohammed is working seriously to introduce Social Media Bill.

No Freedom of speech in Nigeria. APC thugs shall give account some day.

This happens only when an unrepentant dictator is deceptively elected as a President in a democratic setting he once thwarted in the past

Liar Mohammed does the job himself. He invites Nigerians with his lies all the time

...which incite? Does anyone accord the minister respect or praise before?whatever anyone says, is for the people in power to redesign their ways through the path of truth....Nigeria wiil rise again ijn.🙏

Our leaders are like some parents that flog you with all their strength and they don't want you to cry. Humanity is not in their dictionary

.hmmmm na play abi

Who send them? PoliceNG 🙄

The hard truth is I have never seen or heard one Nigerian say anything good about Lai Muh'd. The first thing that comes to a Nigerian's mind once his name is mentioned is 'lies'.

Information minister indeed...

Sincerely, nothing works in this country except social media and corruption 🤔🤔 YeleSowore adeyanjudeji

This is a violation of his fundamental human rights for17days in detention

The bar is in hell.

Ok

Only in Nigeria The police,efcc,dss chase the wrong things😖

So there is no freedom of speech again? Lai Mohammed your turn is coming !!!

No doubt, the fundamental rights of the journalist has been breached by PoliceNG Lai Mohammed had denied involvement and being the complainant in this matter, there must be a misrepresentation somewhere.
