    From RUFAI Ibrahim, one of Nigeria's most distinguished journalists. In December 1984, he was detained by the security authorities, for allegedly "destabilising" effect of his writings. The detention was triggered by this article which first appeared in the Lagos Guardian, in the form of a letter to the imprisoned ex-Governor of Kano State, Balarabe Musa. Ibrahim, who was never tried, was thought to have been released, along with other detained journalists, in August 1985, but Balarabe was not released at this stage. The 'letter' is heavy with irony, especially when it is describing prison conditions, the army and the Buhari biography (Buhari is the current President of Nigeria).
