Arresting the editor over the mild content of a satirical column actually undermines the president. Situation made particularly acute by reports that the editor is unwell and is on bedrest. She is one of only 2 female editors at major titles in the country - as bad as it gets

Sad to see Faith Zaba in prison garbs meant for criminals. One thing is clear, those who arrest journalists are making a judgement on themselves. That is they have nothing to offer other than fear mongering. Height of poor leadership is silencing journalists. #freefaithzaba

An attack on journalists is an attack on everyone. We must all be concerned. An uninformed nation is a poor nation. We can’t all wait for donations from one person. Some of us want to buy our own cars.
