Military Frees Editor After 13 Days In Detention
Military authorities have freed the editor of FirstNews, Segun Olatunji, thirteen days after staying in their custody.
He was released on Thursday in Abuja and handed over to select journalists on the grounds that he would be available whenever needed by military authorities.
The editor was arrested in his Abule-Egba home in Lagos State on March 15. But his family members were in the dark about his whereabouts and why he was detained.
But journalists’ bodies and human rights agencies clamoured for his freedom. A few days back, the International Press Institute (IPI) said Olatunji was in the custody of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).
