Amid the economic hardship in the country, state governments have continued their intolerance to dissent voices.
This was what happened in Borno State where the police arrested and detained one Sultan Usman for five days for criticising the Executive Secretary of the Borno State Geographical Information Service, Adam Bababe, over flood prevention measures in the state.
Usman, a popular social media activist in Borno, was taken into police custody last Monday. His lawyer described his arrest and detention as unlawful.
