I believe this is highly illegal. To paraphrase Martin Niemoller, "I didn't protest all the times they came for the others that we're different from me. When they came for me, there was no one to speak for me".

They are afraid of their own shadow. I remember their role in the dehumanisation of some women recently at their own market. But come to think of it, who is afraid of the bard, Jelili Atiku?

In a democratic state as it's meaning suggest, art is the only tool that tells humanity and the society her essence.

When everybody agrees that education is the key You still want to lock up our minds and think education can open it for free See education is not just about the degrees and masters But the degree to which we can master our education to the benefit of our people Let the ARTIST be ARTIST #FREEJELILI

Nobody should ever be arested for expressing him or het self on the street. Sure not when it is an not violence performance. We as humans have the right to express outselfs. This is not a right from the people only which has the power in politic!

Street Art performance does not constitute public nuisance. It is done all over the world. Jelili Atiku is a world renowned art performance artist. It is meant to entertain, educate and inform the public . It enriches and promotes our culture. Don't stifle creativity. Don't kill our arts.

No artist is an enemy to the society. Jelili is a brilliant artist who also promotes our culture. He cannot and should not be gagged.

Free Jelili and his Colleagues now! The police and the courts should focus on tackling real criminals and leave artists alone.

Atiku Jelili is a renowned African artiste, whose works and performances had brought honor to this country and continent. It's a rape on fundamental human rights generally to trampled on the right of an artiste to perform his art.
