Social media commentator Isaac Fayose asserts that the police’s decision to detain renowned activist VeryDarkMan for more than 24 hours amounts to oppression.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the sibling of the former governor of Ekiti state argues that detentions in Nigeria should never exceed a 24-hour period.

However, VeryDarkMan has been detained for over five days without a court order.

He questioned why, despite meeting all requirements and more, the police were keeping him in custody.

Isaac emphasized that although they have the right to accuse him of a crime, they must still formally charge him. He argued that keeping VeryDarkMan in custody through Easter constitutes oppression, suppression, and stifling of people’s voices, which is detrimental to a nation.

Isaac called for VeryDarkMan’s release and advised people to prioritize doing good and avoid seeking harmful revenge against others.
