inscriptions such as: “Free Ikenga now, impunity
can’t stand”, “DSS is enforcing lawlessness”, “We say
no to impunity #freeIkenga”, “Nigerian youths
stand by Ikenga”, and others, matched to the state
government house Owerri, where they presented
their position paper with a demand for the

invitation by the Assistant Director of Internal
