Amnesty International Nigeria has condemned the arrest and continued detention of Kaduna-based political critic and opposition politician, Jonah Bonet, popularly known as "Pompo". The global human rights organisation described his arrest as arbitrary and an abuse of power while demanding his immediate and unconditional release. In a statement issued on Saturday, the organisation accused security operatives of punishing Bonet solely for exercising his constitutional right to criticise the administration of Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani.

The masked operatives reportedly refused to identify themselves, forcefully pulled him from his car, and informed his wife that he was being moved to Kaduna that same night.
