Army releases investigative journalist
Nigerian Army has released investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo.
The Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) confirmed his release on its social media handles on Friday night.
“We can confirm that our founder ‘Fisayo Soyombo has now been released by the Nigerian army, following the intense media campaign you all mounted.
“FIJ acknowledges the Nigerian Army’s deliberate mischaracterisation to suggest an involvement in “illegal oil bunkering”. FIJ will also address this statement appropriately.
“Our immediate concern is regarding the safety of ‘Fisayo Soyombo in view of extensive information sharing with the Army on his fieldwork during the period of his detention. We are assessing the situation and hoping that his safety will not be jeopardised after release,” the statement explained.
The Division Army Public Relations, Lieutenant Colonel Danjuma Danjuma, had earlier confirmed Soyombo’s arrest, saying that he was apprehended at an illegal oil bunkering site.
