Nigeria yamshikilia Blogger mwenzangu...

...The SSS told Mr Elendu's lawyer that Mr Elendu had not been "arrested", but "invited" for talks at their headquarters.

...dah, mialiko mingine hiyo mnh...!
 
a us-based nigerian news blogger is being held without charge by nigeria's secret service.

Jonathan elendu was taken into custody on saturday when he arrived in the capital, abuja, on a family visit.

The state security service (sss) has refused to allow his lawyers access to him and denied him a medical visit.

Elendureports.com is one of a number of diaspora-run "citizen reporting" websites about nigeria and is known for publishing controversial stories.

According to nigerian law anyone arrested must be charged in court within 48 hours, but correspondents say the rule is frequently broken.

The sss told mr elendu's lawyer that mr elendu had not been "arrested", but "invited" for talks at their headquarters.

There haven't been many really controversial stories about the president on elendureports.com in the last few months

lawyer ugo muoma

an sss spokesman said he was being investigated for "acts of sedition", but refused to give details.

Spokesman kene chukwu also told the bbc that mr elendu's detention had followed legal rules.

"i am telling you all the legal rules were followed, and you have to accept it," mr chukwu said.

Mr elendu's lawyer says he has not spoken to his client since his arrest.

"they have not pressed any charges and have not allowed anyone to see him," said ugo muoma.

He said he was filing papers in court to force the sss to charge or release mr elendu.

Elendureports.com operates from lansing in michigan and publishes often controversial stories about nigerian politicians, accusing some of them of corruption and other crimes.

Their stories are often based on anonymous sources.

President's son

another us-based nigerian news website, saharareporters.com, quotes anonymous sources as saying mr elendu may have been arrested because of photographs it published a few months ago showing president umaru yar'adua's son.


Elendureports.com once mistakenly reported that mr yar'adua had died

the saharareporters.com pictures, which caused a stir in the local media at the time, showed 13-year-old musa yar'adua waving wads of money around and holding a policeman's gun.

But saharareporters.com says mr elendu is not a member of their staff and has nothing to do with the photographs.

International media rights groups reporters without borders has called for mr elendu's release.

"there haven't been many really controversial stories about the president on elendureports.com in the last few months," said mr muoma.

During the election campaign in 2007, elendureports.com claimed that mr yar'adua had died during a medical trip to germany.

Two foreign journalists have been detained and deported by the sss for reporting in the politically sensitive oil-rich niger delta region over the last few months.

In september, six local reporters and media executives were detained and questioned after a television channel reported, after receiving a hoax e-mail, that the president planned to resign.

my take:
nimeshtuka kusoma habari hii kwani elendu ni mshirika katika mambo mbalimbali na kwangu ndiye mwalimu. Tumekuwa wote hapa michigan kwa muda na mojawapo ya ripoti zangu kuhusu mkutano wa sullivan zinatokana na yeye. Sijui kama haya ndiyo yanatungojea wengine tukikanyaga nyumbani.

Free elendu now!

lakini wewe si ulikuwa nyumbani na hakuna aliyekukamata tena ukaenda mpaka tarime mzeee
 
Binafsi bado nina IMANI kubwa tu na JF. Muhimu nadhani ni kuzingatia RULES za humu jamvini, kuwa mkweli kwa kadri ya uwezo wako.

Siasa ni mchanganyiko wa ukweli, speculations na the rest, ukweli na uongo wa siasa unaweza kuthibitishwa na wale tu wenye ukweli kamili,

Hapa the question ni kama tunaruhusiwa kuweka ukweli wote wa siasa za taifa wazi hapo ndipo kila mtu kubeba msalaba wake, na ndipo point yako inatakiwa kuwa na mzizi,

Huyu mtu wa Nigeria kama amekamatwa, basi ni kwa sababu ametoa ukweli wa siasa ya taifa ambao hakutakiwa kua nao, au kuutoa to the public, it has nothing to do na uongo au sheria za gazeti au website alipoutolea, serikali haiwezi kunishika kwa sababu nimekusingizia wewe uongo, kama ninaisingizia serikali uongo itakuanusha tu unless ule uongo unavunja sheria za jamhuri,

Otherwise siku zote ni the question ya kutoa habari nyeti za serikali ambazo huruhusiwi kuwa nazo, lakini sio ulipozitolea! Kama ni kuamainiana sidhani kama ni tatizo, binafsi ninamuamini kila mtu hapa JF lakini ninafunga milango ya gari langu always na sijawahi kukurupuka na anything na ninaweza kuweka wazi anytime ikibidi, maana nikiwa na ukweli kuogopa mtu sio jadi yangu hata awe nani. Heshima isichangaywe na anything, it just heshima!

Ahsante Mkuu!
 
Mzee ES mbona unataka kuleta makubwa tena humu ndani?mi si nilidhani haya mambo yalishasawazishwa na Max?sasa mbona yanaibukia huku tena?

Hakuna tatizo mkuu wangu, ila tunapeana habari za karibu na ukweli tu hakuna noma na Max, wala mtu yoyote,

Nilipowaomba wakuu waiache ile topic kuna niliyoyaona ambayo yanafanana na maswali aliyouliza mkulu MMJ, mwanzoni mwa hii topic!

Relax mkuu everything is under control!

Unaji over-value tu, wewe ni joka la kibisa mpayukaji wa mtandaoni.....
 
ukija nyumbani hakikisha wakili wako anakuwa uwanjani na mpiga picha atakayenyaka vivuli vya watakao/taka "kukualika" kwa mazungumzo.
