Reactions have continued to trail the detention of the activist and her colleagues. SERAP Nigeria twitted as follows:

"The reported false imprisonment and detention of @obyezeks and members of the @BBOG_Nigeria makes a mockery of @MBuhari's claim  that this government is one of change  that is governed by the rule of law. The authorities should immediately release them and allow them to freely exercise their rights.

Kofi Nigeria Info FM twitted thus:

"Police detains Oby Ezekwesili.."

"Oby Ezekwesili reveals she has been detained by the Nigerian Police in Abuja.

Responding to the detention of  Mrs Ezekwisili and her group, a Nigerian resident in London, UK, Mr Pascal Ezemma told Naira Chronicles that security agencies in Nigeria are given President Buhari a bad name by their actions of late including the purported arrests of clergy men. He stated that unless the security agents were acting under instructions from the president, he must do something fast to caution his security chiefs.
