He wrote, “Again, having openly confessed to a criminal act of hacking on a live TV, he knows that tomorrow may be the beginning of series of trials from the DSS, EFCC, ICPC among others. “He’s now looking for a way to dodge detention and possible jail. So by alleging poison importation, he is trying to say that detention or cell facilities are suspicious. Unfortunately, he’s just being silly, wasting his hypocritical time. “If the DSS or any agency feels that you should be in the custody, so be it. You’re too small to become a national nuisance. Nobody will kpai you, you will only go when Allah says it’s your time. Stop panicking, NASIRU, be a Man”!
