How can you win all these awards in a University and even graduate as the best graduating student in 2017 and you will be send to jail for a Facebook post. This is not education! Madonna University is a dungeon.#FreeMadonna7Now#FreeMadonna7Now pic.twitter.com/y0w87POhZO

I will keep retweeting that Madonna University injustice each time it pops on my timeline. They don't have to pay for the negative publicity it's pro bono from here

UPDATE: I have spoken to family members of Chijoke & members of NANS in the state & all I can say is that this country is fundamentally a jungle where the strong continuously oppress the weak. Madonna University used @PoliceNG to imprison 6 students + 1 lecturer over SM criticism https://t.co/vos7HDv8ki

Because of a Facebook post six students and a lecturer of Madonna University Nigeria have been in prison since February. Expressing an opinion is not a crime. #Madonna7

Glad to know that Nigerians are beginning to use social media to fight the right battles… 4 in 1 week is an impressive number!

My People, I was in Madonna university for just 1 sesemter and I ran o. The management and the way they treat student and staff is terrible. Father Ede and one father Felix- terrible and wicked people and they say they are fathers of the Catholic Church. SMH 🤦♀️

Now we are talking about Madonna university and her activities, why is NANS not offering a voice? Oh I forgot, these are not politicians who are ready to shareoney to canvass for votes. This impunity has to come to an end

You provide students with half baked knowledge and expect them to shut up and swallow it. no right to suggestions and opinions #FreeMadonna7Now Madonna university vs Fr Edeh .#ElishaAbbo

This is a false headline. As I write they are still in prison, we won't celebrate until they all walked out of that prison unchained and all charges against them dropped.#FreeMadonna7Now
