The Abuja Police command has released the former Minister of Education and convener of the BringBackOurGirls group, Oby Ezekwesili and seven other members of her group.
In a series of tweets after their release, Mrs. Ezekwesiki said the police refused to tell her and seven members of her group the reason they were arrested on Tuesday in Abuja.
But their arrest is not unconnected with the actvities of the group and their alleged plan to march in protest to the presidential villa Abuja.
In a series of tweets after her release, the former minister said the Abuja commissoner of police, Sadiq Abubakar Bello, who ordered their release did not state why they were detained.
“Without stating the reason for our arrest and detention, Commissioner of Police at the FCT Command, CP Bello has asked us to be let out of their station,” she tweeted.
“We insisted on a formal charge and release but his response? “I am the commissioner and now release you to go.”
