A media
personality explained his ordeal via a series of tweets with his @jayyth3dope
account.
Nigerian
Twitter user, Shola Jay has narrated how he was imprisoned for 90 days because
he created a parody account of ex-president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
According to
his tweets, he converted his personal account on Twitter to a parody account of
ex-president Jonathan and within hours, got detained.
He, however,
accused the Asokoro police division in Abuja of maltreating him and keeping him
more than 48 hours as a detainee.
Shola said he
spent four days in prison before being charged to court. Meanwhile, he said he
kept trying to explain that the account was a parody for Dr Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan. But no one listened.

I felt so scared & uncomfortable cos I’ve never been arrested before my whole life. Then, an officer came in the morning with the leg curves like I was gonna run and chained my legs. I told him “Sir, I didn’t kiII anybody, why this?” we then left for Abuja that morning by road.— Shola (@jayyth3dope) August 21, 2020
Fell sick while I was behind bars, couple times. I was treated tho cos my ipo took me to the clinic once & also got drugs for me once, I wasn’t tortured by the police physically. I sat & ate with murderers which made my nightmares horrific, Got 2 square meals daily, malnourished— Shola (@jayyth3dope) August 21, 2020

#FreeShola also made a big impact in order to facilitate my release, Thanks to everyone who came through. I’m taking my treatments serious and I should be 100% fine real soon. Trying to feel loved again, reunite with my family & friends, get used to this outer world again— Shola (@jayyth3dope) August 21, 2020
