Nigerian Senate's Summoning of Ahmad Isa Sparks Controversy

 Nigerian Senate's Summoning of Ahmad Isa Sparks Controversy




In a move that has ignited widespread debate, the Nigerian Senate has summoned Ahmad Isa, popularly known as the Ordinary President of Brekete Family, to appear before them on February 27, 2025. The summons follows an episode of his radio show where Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan discussed her personal issues with him.


The Senate's directive has been met with criticism, as many view it as an attempt to muzzle Isa and the Brekete Family, a renowned human rights advocacy platform. The Senate's warning that Isa could be considered a criminal if he fails to comply has been deemed excessive by some, raising concerns about freedom of speech and the media.


Isa's work on Brekete Family has earned him significant recognition, including an honorary doctorate from the Federal University Lokoja. 


The platform is widely regarded as a beacon of hope for Nigerians seeking justice and human rights protection. 


This development has sparked a national conversation about the role of media in holding public figures accountable and the limits of legislative power.


As the situation unfolds, many are watching closely to see how this will impact the broader landscape of media freedom and human rights advocacy in Nigeria.
