Tension exploded at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday as the Department of State Services (DSS) arraigned controversial Nigerian blogger and activist, Justice Mark Chidiebere, widely known as Justice Crack, over alleged incitement.
In a dramatic twist, sources revealed that moments after the court session ended, the activist was whisked back into DSS custody — sparking outrage among supporters and rights groups demanding his immediate freedom.
Security presence around the courtroom was overwhelming, with armed operatives flooding the premises while journalists were reportedly blocked from covering the proceedings.
Outside the court, activists and members of the Take It Back Movement staged a fiery protest, chanting solidarity songs and demanding the release of the detained blogger.
“Release Justice Crack now!” protesters roared as tensions mounted.
The case has continued to stir nationwide controversy following allegations that the activist suffered brutal treatment in military custody before being handed over to the DSS.
According to sources, Justice Crack was allegedly chained to a tree under the scorching sun for more than 72 hours — claims that triggered public anger and condemnation from human rights advocates.
Prominent activist Omoyele Sowore blasted the authorities, accusing security agencies of attempting to legitimise what he described as unlawful detention and abuse.
“They want to take him to court instead of releasing him unconditionally,” Sowore declared while mobilising activists to continue protests at the DSS office.
Family members insist the activist’s ordeal began after he openly criticised the military over the alleged extrajudicial killing of a civilian and exposed the harsh welfare conditions faced by soldiers.
In an emotional viral video, a relative recounted the alleged abuse.
“He was tied to a tree for 72 hours. His only crime was speaking for oppressed Nigerians,” the family member lamented.
But the Nigerian Army has strongly defended its actions.
In a statement signed by Army spokesperson Colonel Appolonia Anele, the military accused Justice Crack of attempting to incite soldiers and fuel discontent within the ranks.
The Army warned that his actions carried “far-reaching implications on discipline and national security.”
As outrage continues to spread, the controversial case is rapidly becoming a flashpoint in Nigeria’s growing debate over free speech, military accountability, and human rights.
