Social critic, Justice Crack decries dilapidated state of his vehicle after release by Nigerian Army

Social critic Justice Crack has decried the dilapidated condition of his vehicle after retrieving it from the custody of the Nigerian Army.

The military confiscated Crack’s car following his arrest on April 28. The army detained him after he published a video criticizing the allegedly poor food rations provided to soldiers fighting insurgents. He was subsequently granted bail and released from detention in May.

Upon reclaiming his property from the military authorities, the social critic expressed shock at the severe deterioration of his vehicle.

Taking to his X handle to cry out, Justice wrote

‘’I write this with pain in my heart.

On April 23, 2026, I bought a car on loan after trading in my former car, which had become a constant source of problems. I still had an outstanding balance of ₦4.5 million to pay.

On April 28, 2026, I was taken away by the Nigerian Army under the guise of DSS officials. For three days in their custody, I was subjected to treatment that left deep scars on me physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Throughout those three days, I remained handcuffed and blindfolded. During the day, I was left under the scorching sun for hours without water. I begged and cried for water, but nobody gave me any. At night, I was kept in an extremely cold room where I would cry and plead for help, but no one responded. I also received random slaps from unidentified individuals.

Even after the court granted me bail, the trauma did not end. I still wake up suddenly at night, struggling to sleep as memories of those days continue to haunt me.

What breaks my heart even more is that the car I bought on loan was damaged. Sometimes I ask myself: what exactly did I do to deserve such treatment?

My only “offence” was speaking up and asking that my brothers and sisters serving in the military should be properly fed and cared for.

Today, I can truly say that Nigeria happened to me.

But despite everything, one thing remains certain:

Justice can never be cracked.”
