Jones Abiri, the Nigerian journalist detained for over two years has been released.

The journalist was released on Wednesday evening after he met his bail conditions, his lawyer told PREMIUM TIMES.

Mr Abiri was detained by the State Security Service for two years without trial over allegations he was linked to armed militancy in the Niger Delta.

Despite local and international pressure, Nigerian officials including the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, claimed Mr Abiri is not a journalist and tried to justify his illegal detention.

Mr Abiri, publisher and editor-in-chief of Weekly Source Newspaper was eventually granted bail by an Abuja court after he was charged to court following public outcry.

The court last week reviewed his bail conditions which were eventually met on Wednesday evening.

Mr Abiri’s lawyer, Samuel Ogala, also told PREMIUM TIMES his client’s trial continues at the Abuja magistrate court in Zone 2, Wuse on Thursday.

2yrs without trial... I weep for the backwardness of this country.

A country where the so called leaders disobeys court orders at will and nothing is being done about it.


Cash out while you still can. This country will soon implode.

Your stupidty stinks. A president and his goons detained someone for 2yrs without trial and all you can say is that the president is kind hearted?.

What has happened to boko haram mediators?
What has happened to fulani herdsmen mediators?
What has happened to those boko haram terrorists caught.?

But a man with a camera and biro is the threat to national unity and needs to be locked up isnt it?

He probably only trended for 3 hours on twitter and everybody moved on. No protests. Nothing.

One of the legacies of the Lawal Daura DSS. The man was so lawless that he never thought anyone could question his actions. He wasn't even answerable to Buhari, but Jehovah God that answers prayer has weeded him out.
