Activist Olamide Thomas Arrested After Allegedly Cursing President Tinubu’s Children

On December 13, 2024, Nigerian activist Olamide Thomas was arrested by the police for allegedly making offensive remarks about President Tinubu’s children, the Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, and Force PRO Adejobi during a Facebook live session.



The live stream, posted on October 20, came shortly after Olamide claimed she was assaulted by police officers during the EndSARS memorial procession at the Lekki Tollgate.


Following her arrest at her home in Shomolu, Lagos, Olamide was detained at Panti Police Station, Yaba, where she was reportedly denied administrative bail. The next day, she was flown to Abuja, where she allegedly collapsed in custody before eventually receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital.


Her arraignment took place this morning, but the court denied her bail, ordering her to remain in Suleja prison. The case has been adjourned until December 30, 2024.


This development has sparked conversations about freedom of speech and the treatment of activists in Nigeria. Many are waiting to see how the case unfolds in the coming weeks.
