A Twitter user has cried out on the platform as her 13-year-old brother and his classmates who were arrested nearly two months ago have still not regained their freedom.

Latifah said her brother, a student of Government Technical College, Ewet, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, was arrested alongside other classmates on February 19.

She said there was a fight at their school and police were called. When they arrived, they "raided" students and took them into custody.

She wrote: "Hello twitter I need you all help.. My 13 year old brother has been in custody with some of his school mate since 19feb. Because there was a fight in their school and students we're raided. Please help me RT this THREAD to authorities."
