Voices Silenced: Citizens Arrested for Criticizing Local Government Youth Programs

 


Reports from several states in Nigeria indicate a worrying trend: citizens are being arrested for criticizing local government youth empowerment initiatives.

In Jigawa State, activist Abba Mu’azu Abiyos was reportedly detained after openly criticizing the Roni LGA chairman’s youth program. Similarly, in Bauchi, a young man named Usman Sabo faced arrest following Facebook posts accusing the Shira LGA chairman of mismanagement. Kano State has also seen two NNPP members arrested for publicly criticizing their local government chairman online.

Human rights groups have condemned these actions, calling them a threat to freedom of expression and democratic accountability. Critics argue that youth empowerment programs should be open to evaluation and public scrutiny, not shielded from criticism by arrests or intimidation.

These incidents highlight the urgent need for local governments to respect citizens’ rights and encourage transparent governance, while ensuring that activists and ordinary citizens can speak out without fear of reprisal.
