Abuja Court Sentences Rights Activist IG Wala To 12 Years In Prison Over Facebook Post | Sahara Reporters

The Abuja High Court on Monday sentenced Ibrahim Wala, popularly known as IG Wala, to 12 years in jail after being found guilty of gathering unlawful assembly and criminal defamation of character.

On September 26, 2017, Wala, convener of Citizens Action to Take Back Nigeria , had made a Facebook post accusing Mukhtar of corruptly enriching himself with N3billion after the 2017 Hajj. “In the interim, CATBAN tends to question how NAHCON expended the total sum of N97,906,500,000 accrued from the payment of N1.5million by each individual that made up the 65,271 being the Total Number of Nigerian Muslim Pilgrims for 2017."

Delivering the ruling, Justice Jalilu said that Wala was guilty of managing an unlawful association, inciting the public and defamation of character on social media.
