A STORY WORTH SHARING
Pharmacist Solomon Akuma’s Triumph Over the Wicked Buhari Regime
Following a rigorous farcical trial perpetrated by the wickedly , spent 33 months in despondency, stripped of his freedom over a twitter bant he posted which the regime considered inimicall to its hold on power.
During my visit to the FCID detention center in 2020 to see detainees, including Moyinoluwa Olowoyo “Gigabyte” we became aware of Solomon Akuma’s situation through Babatunde Shola of era who had been detained by former President Jonathan for creating a parody account in his name.
We actively campaigned for his Solomon Akuma’s release, soon as Shola was released, however, in an ironic turn of events, in January 2021, we found ourselves detained alongside him at the FCIID in Abuja, accused by the Buhari regime of conduct likely to breach public peace; by then, he had become the de facto president of the detention center.
However, in January 2023, he was exonerated by a three-member appellate court in Abuja. By then he had spent time under the looming danger of while in Nigeria Police Force detention, when he was transferred to Kuje prison, Solomon survived a deadly prison break by Boko Haram, he briefly left the prison but opted to return when the terrorists left and he reached out to me.
Undeterred, he summoned the courage to pursue his vision of becoming a prominent pharmacist, and then enrolled in the National Youth Service Corps , and had his passing out parade on March 27th, 2025. His journey exemplifies fortitude and perseverance in face adversity.
