I Was Instructed To Say My Final Prayers - Bongo Ideas Breaks Silence Following Suspected Disappearances.

Serial social media troll Albert Nat Hyde, also known as Bongo Ideas, has spoken out over a case of kidnapping and torture that was recently publicized. A few weeks prior, Bongo Ideas was the target of an arrest that was ascribed to state security officials. However, subsequent comments from the police and national security denied that he was under their custody.

He then made his way back home a few days later, supposedly in poor health. He discussed his ordeal with German broadcaster DW Africa in his first interview following his release. He claimed that he had been mistreated by those "claiming to be police officers."

He revealed that he received threats at gunpoint and advice not to go after the president. I was dragged out of my room by some individuals who were dressed as police officers on March 14, 2024, at around three in the morning. I was told to say my final prayers and threatened with death with pistols aimed at my head.

He told DW News, "They beat me up and all, and they warned me never to speak about the president." He split views on social media over the treatment he was getting, with a sizable majority of people saying that he was the target of these attacks. Some who defended him advocated using democratic mechanisms to address his excesses rather than threatening him with unidentified assailants.
