El Rufai Accuses SSS Of Arresting Musician Over Goodluck's Song

 

 It came as a great shock to the citizens of Nigeria to see President Goodluck Jonathan’s deeply offensive decision to go on the campaign trail to the Northern city of Kano shortly after the horrific Nyanya bombing in Abuja. To see Jonathan and his entourage singing and dancing with joy the very morning that more than 200 teenage girls were kidnapped from a high school in Chibok, Borno State, is a clear illustration of this administration’s lack of respect for the Nigerian people.

To protest GEJ’s insulting visit to Kano, the musical artist Ahmed Audi Zarewa recorded a version of the Hausa folk song titled “Zuwan Mai Malfa Kano.” Zarewa was later placed under arrest yesterday by the State Security Service (SSS) in a clear violation of his rights to freedom of speech.
