It's Sexual Violence Awareness Month #SAAM and today's focus is Sexual Violence Against Women in Conflict. I think of women in conflict across Africa. The DRC, Mali, Sudan, Nigeria. My thoughts today are with women in Benue state Nigeria where more than 200 people were killed

I invite you to support the Bible Society of Nigeria. They still do amazing work taking the Bible to unreached communities and translating to local languages. They give out Braille too!
We just concluded an End-to-End Bible listening group training in Asa, deep inside Ewekoro LGA, Ogun State—10km into the bush from Ibese! These passionate participants are ready to spread God’s Word in their community. 🙌📖

Yesterday, soldiers stationed in Ugbokpo Apa local government of Benue state under #OperationWhirlsStroke stormed the Owoicho residence and picked up Ernest Ochoechi Owoicho at 1.34pm #JusticeForErnest @NigerianArmy @Globalrightsng
No reason was given for his arrest. Right there in front his family house, they beat him up till he became unconscious and died after which they fled. He was taken to the hospital at about 5:00pm but he had succumbed to his wounds #JusticeForErnest @NigerianArmy @NigeriaMourns

You are a phenomenal force of nature @Makintamie . It's so awe-inspiring to see you evolve and grow. Nigeria and the world await you in full bloom!
A big thank you to everyone who has been part of this amazing experience more especially my Mentor Prof. @ChidiOdinkalu for his continues support and encouragement, and my Executive Director Ms. @bbiodun Baiyewu for her exceptional leadership and continues guidance. /4
Here's a statement from @risj_oxford Acting Director @MitaliLive about our alumnus @fisayosoyombo, who was arrested in Nigeria earlier this week
✍️ Details about the case teapawt.org/AmnestyNigeria/status/…
🔗A link to Fisayo's project at the Institute reutersinstitute.politics.ox…
ALT A statement from our Acting Director, Mitali Mukherjee: “We are proud to have hosted Fisayo Soyombo as a Journalist Fellow and we are deeply concerned about his arrest. He is an outstanding investigative journalist and an alumnus of our programme, where he worked on a timely project on the campaigns to tarnish journalists’ reputations. Fisayo’s arrest is a reminder of the challenges faced by so many colleagues who hold power to account. Journalism is not a crime and shouldn’t be treated as such. We hope the rule of law is followed and upheld in this case.”

Just learnt that Juwon Soyinka, West Africa Regional Editor of The Conversation and pioneer Editor of BBC Pidgin Service, was arrested by @OfficialDSSNG at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport early this morning as he came in from the UK. He's been unreachable since then.

Paternity fraud is a state of mind. The real dads are then men who stepped up. #HappyFathersDay #ThankYou 🙌🏽

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear activist tee shirts, don academic gowns, roll up their sleeves and lead in the trenches.
My Mentor. My teacher. My brother. @ChidiOdinkalu Happy birthday. Our world is better because of you.
Where is the lie? Thank you Prof. for consistently standing by Truth.
25 yrs after the military returned to the barracks in #Nigeria, the judges have toppled the citizens & the politicians know they no longer need the votes of citizens to get into power. They just buy judges & allow the citizens to be massacred.

This is not over. Our eyes will be on government. Any further attempt to harrass journalists will not be condoned. They fulfil a constitutional duty. @dayoaiyetan is renowned for his integrity and his deep love for Nigeria. #journalismIsNotACrime !
Our Executive Director of The International Centre for Investigative (ICIR), Dayo Aiyetan [@dayoaiyetan ], and our reporter Nurudeen Akewushola [@NurudeenAkewus1 ] of The (ICIR) were released and left the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre at 9:15 tonight.
The reporter was released on bail to the International Press Institute (IPI) [@IPCng] President, Mojeed Musikilu [@Musikilu] after 9 hours of honouring the police invitation.
We are thankful for the support and concern we have received.

impact on Nigeria's civic space globalrights.org/ng/shege-a-… . Compare with Femi Adesina's chronicles if & when you read them. This is why we document things. The hunter's legend persists till the hunted's version of the story is told
13 year-old Michelle Ariyo has been murdered by those who abducted her, plus her mother and 3 siblings. Her father has cried out in desperation to save the rest of his family. Who's listening? Not a whimper from Govt. @nassnigeria has extended their holiday. #MayJudgmentCome
