Governor El-Rufai denies report that journalist, Segun Onibiyo, is being held up in a cell run by him

Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted to reports that journalist, Segun Onibiyo, is currently being held up in a cell he operates in the state.

Recall that in November many twitter activists accused the governor of ordering the arrest and detention of Onibiyo over an anti-Buhari post he shared on his Facebook wall. Onibiyo was said to have been picked up by men of the state police command on the orders of the Governor El-Rufai. Read here.
Yesterday, someone tweeted that ''We should not forget Segun Onibiyo is still in  cell in Kaduna please. 
Responding to the tweet today, Governor El-Rufai said more people that tweet mesages like Onibiyo did will definite be prosecuted in the state.
''FACT!: KDSG has no cell! Whether you forget or not, Segun is in prison custody for incitement, malicious falsehood and hate speech, on the orders of a court of law. More like him that incite to kill or destroy property will be prosecuted in Kaduna State, no matter what you tweet!
