Mahdi Shehu greets friends, foes, bystanders after release from prison
Controversial activist Mahdi Shehu has been released from prison after perfecting bail condition slammed on him by a Kaduna State High Court.
The court granted Shehu bail of N3 million and two sureties in the like sum. The court held that the sureties must be renowned clerics.
Recall that security operatives picked up Shehu over allegations of sharing a misleading video that went viral.
Upon his release from prison, Shehu penned a thank you message to those who were genuinely worried and supportive during his 12-day incarceration, those who celebrated his ordeal, and those who sat on the fence and did nothing.
He said in a post on his X handle; “THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU: During my arrest, detention, and incarceration spanning 12 days, I have a duty and obligation to thank the following classes of people.
“1. Those who were genuinely worried, concerned, supportive, and prayerful. I felt your prayers, and they served the purposes they were meant for.
“2. Those who were happy and celebrative. I am thanking you because you emboldened me and served as a seasoning to my world view. You occupy that row in a stadium who celebrates any club that is winning for that day.
“3. Those who sat on the fence. This class, though , neither concerned, prayerful, supportive, nor celebrative, yet offer their silence or indifference as pond for those willing to come for combative fishing. One day, they will belong somewhere, either as victims or villains, willy-nilly.
“4. I apologise for my inability to respond to over 4 million messages across various social media platforms and handles. 5. I remain grateful to all of you.”
