An editor with the Brittle Paper, a literary magazine, Otosirieze Obi-Young, has been sacked by his employers for writing a seeming scathing piece on wife of Kaduna State governor, Hajia Hadiza el-Rufai, over a controversial tweet she issued a few days ago.
He made this known in a lengthy statement, having worked with the company for about four years.

This was also confirmed by the paper’s Publisher, Ainehi Edoro.
The misunderstanding leading to his dismissal was sequel to an article he wrote about Mrs. el-Rufai, defending a pro-rape tweet by her son, Bello el-Rufai.
In the article, which has since been removed by the publisher, Mr. Obi-Young called out the Kaduna State First Lady for describing as ‘fair’, her son’s threat to organise the gang rape of the mother of a twitter follower, who differed with him.
