Condemns Continued Detention of Two Nigerians Over Social Media Commentary.
The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) has expressed deep concern over the continued detention of Sani Waspapping and Abubakar Adamu by the Department of State Services (DSS) over social media commentary relating to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
In a statement dated March 14, 2026, the organisation says the situation raises serious concerns about the protection of freedom of expression in Nigeria.
CITAD explains it considers the actions deeply troubling and inconsistent with constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression.
The organisation therefore warned that equating the criticism of the policies of the United States or Israel with incitement poses a threat to democratic freedoms.
