“Nigeria military picked up Justice Crack for releasing a story about the welfare of Nigerian soldiers. The question we should ask is: what exactly did he say that many military personnel themselves are not already complaining about?” he said.
Rufai further questioned the basis of the charges against the content creator, particularly claims that the information shared was false.

He also raised concerns about the manner in which Justice Crack was allegedly taken into custody.
“The military is charging him for releasing false information, but are those pictures not taken by military personnel on the frontline? He was picked up against his will. He was pretty much kidnapped until people started speaking up.
