Kaduna-based activist Mahdi Shehu has been arrested by security agents again.
He was reportedly arrested by plainclothes security operatives at his clinic in Unguwar Dosa around 11:00 a.m.
21st CENTURY CHRONICLE was yet to establish which of the security agencies arrested the activist and political commentator.
The son of the activist, Buhari Mahdi, revealed that the family was to reach his father.
All the junior Mahdi said was just, “We don’t know if it was an arrest or an invitation. But they (DSS) picked him up at his clinic in Unguwar Dosa, Kaduna, around 11:00 a.m.”
The activist was in December arrested and charged to a Kaduna State High Court that granted him N3 million bail on January 9, 2025. The court also required two prominent clerics as sureties.
Shehu broke his silence on his current travel at the weekend, during which he appreciated his supporters for their concern, support, and prayers.
“During my arrest, detention, and incarceration spanning 12 days, I have a duty and obligation to thank the following classes of people. Those who were genuinely worried, concerned, supportive, and prayerful. I felt your prayers, and they served the purposes they were meant for.”
“Those who were happy and celebrative. I am thanking you because you emboldened me and served as a seasoning to my world view. You occupy that row in a stadium who celebrates any club that is winning for that day.
“Those who sat on the fence. This class, though, neither concerned, prayerful, supportive, nor celebrative, yet offer their silence or indifference as a pond for those willing to come for combative fishing. One day, they will belong somewhere, either as victims or villains, willy-nilly,” Shehu had said.
He tendered an apology for failing to respond to over four million messages across various social media platforms and handles.
