#FreeSenRafiu: Outrage as police arrest Kwara senator days before election

#FreeSenRafiu

The APC Govt of Desperation and Despondence arrested a PDP candidate and sitting Senator yesterday in Kwara.

At this point, they’re just a panicky mess all over the place, looking for victory that is long lost, in places like Kwara, where it can’t be found 👎🏽👎🏽

This regime boasts about the support it has nationwide, why does @MBuhari need to employ Gestapo tactics so desperately? Looking forward to the end of trending hashtags to free people. Only a day to go now. #FreeSenRafiu

#FreeSenRafiu: The police declined to tell @PREMIUMTIMESNG why they did not invite Mr Ashiru for questioning in the aftermath of the latest violence.

Political atmosphere in Kwara has become increasingly volatile as election day approaches.

Dear @PoliceNG what’s going on in Kwara South? Why was @SenRafiu arrested less than 24 hours to his election?

I’ve given the Police Force under the new IG the benefit of the doubt so far but this is straight out of disgraced ex-‘Transmission’ IGP’s playbook! 😡😡😡#FreeSenRafiu

The Police arrested Senator Rafiu – the PDP senatorial candidate for Kwara South.
A leopard never changes its spots.
PMB’s live broadcasts can’t change the fact that this government has no regard for the rule of law nd uses security agents to bully the opposition #FreeSenRafiu pic.twitter.com/h6PQyh14DI
