After Two Years In Detention, Nigerian Journalist Jones Abiri Regains Freedom by Tomiwax(m): 9:06am On Aug 16, 2018 |
Jones Abiri, the Nigerian journalist detained for over two years has been released. He was released on Wednesday evening after he met his bail conditions 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 claimed Abiri is not a journalist and tried to justify his illegal detention. 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. His lawyer, Samuel Ogala, also told Premium Times his client’s trial continues at the Abuja magistrate court in Zone 2, Wuse on Thursday. https://www.legitinfobase.com.ng/2018/08/after-two-years-in-detention-nigerian.html

If this is true, he should quickly run and hide, because if buhari comes back home, they are going to hunt him again |

releasing him is not enough, the people who abused the authority given to them by locking up this one without trial should also be prosecuted. |
