Atiku cries out, accuses FG of detaining his lawyer and son-in-law because they supported him

Presidential candidate of the Peoples' Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has alleged that his son-in-law and his lawyer have been detained for over 3 weeks, saying the government is behind the detention.

Mr Atiku also stated that the two individuals were detained because they supported him (Atiku) in the February 23rd presidential elections. See his tweet below:

My son in law and lawyer have been detained, one for 3 weeks and the other recently. They are paying the price for supporting me. I urge those now persecuting them to remember that a government’s mandate is to pursue peace and justice for all, and not just those who support them.
