Albert Nat Hyde, alias Bongo Ideas, a serial troll on social media, has opened up about a recently reported case of abduction and torture.
Some weeks ago, Bongo Ideas was the subject of an arrest attributed to state security agents until the police and national security issued separate statements denying he was in their custody.
Days later, he subsequently returned home, reportedly in bad shape.
In his first interview since his release, he spoke to German broadcaster DW Africa over his ordeal, which he said was at the hands of people “claiming to be police officers.”
He disclosed being threatened at gunpoint and warned against attacking the president.
“On March 14, 2024, around 3 am, some men masquerading as policemen entered my room and dragged me out. I was threatened to be killed, where pistols were pointed to my head, and I was told to say my last prayers.
“They beat me up and all, and they warned me never to speak about the president,” he told DW News.
On social media, he divided opinions over the treatment he was receiving, with a good majority claiming that he called such attacks on himself.
Others who spoke in his favour called for democratic channels in dealing with his excesses instead of using unknown assigns to threaten him.
