A Benue social media activist, Mr Gyenyer Paul Terhemba, has sued Governor Hyacinth Alia, police officials and the Attorney General of Benue State.

Terhemba said he was wrongfully arrested over a story on his Facebook page about a N200 million fundamental rights suit.

Bar Mue said his arrest constitutes a gross violation of his right to personal liberty, freedom of speech, right to dignity of human person, and privacy provided, protected and guaranteed under sections 34, 35, and 36, 39, 41 and 46 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and Articles 5, 6 and 12 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.

The activist is further seeking an order of perpetual injunction restraining the respondents, their agents, officers, servants and cronies from further threatening to arrest, detain, intimidate and harass him.
