Daniel Ojukwu, a journalist with the Foundation for Investigative Journalism, has regained freedom.
This is coming few hours after some Civil Society Organisations staged a protest at the police headquarters in Abuja, the capital city to demand his release.
FIJ disclosed this on Friday on its website.
“Daniel Ojukwu, the FIJ reporter who was abducted by men of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Inspector-General of Police, has regained freedom after 10 days in police captivity.”
Ojukwu, who went missing last Wednesday with his phone numbers switched off and whereabouts unknown to colleagues, spent a total of 10 days in police captivity.
However, on Sunday transferred to the Nigerian Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), where he was detained for an additional five days.
In an X post by the founder, Invictus Africa, Bukky Shonibare, she shared a photo with the reporter with the caption,
“Daniel Ojukwu is out.
“Thank you Nigerians
“Thank you everyone”
