The post was reposted more than 11,000 times with over 3,000 comments all lashing out at the government.

"I don't want to defend myself .I just want to say that I hope my experience is a lesson to other microbloggers." I can read your minds and i know your stories, so many celebs will wish this happened in Nigeria. ROTFL (Democracy)
