Why Did Justice Crack’s Lawyer Withdraw His Bail Application Mid-Hearing?
Fresh drama erupted at the Federal High Court in Abuja when social media activist Justice Chidiebere Mark’s bail application was withdrawn without warning during his hearing. Justice Crack’s counsel surprised everyone by pulling the request on May 14, leaving supporters in court confused. The activist has been held by the DSS since his arrest over videos exposing soldiers’ welfare challenges in Maiduguri. Security agencies accuse him of cyber offences and compromising military operations, but many Nigerians view him as a whistle-blower. Protests demanding his release have continued in Abuja amid claims of mistreatment in custody. Why was the bail application withdrawn so suddenly? Do activists exposing security-agency issues deserve stronger legal protection?
