State Security Service, SSS, has released Mr. Chido Onumah, who was arrested on Sunday morning by its operatives.
His arrest was reportedly carried out at the airport when he arrived from Spain.
Later on Sunday evening, the African Centre for Media & Information Literacy (AFRICMIL) wrote that it was alarmed over the arrest of its Coordinator, Mr. Onumah by operatives of the State Security Service (SSS).
According to them, Mr. Onumah was picked up at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his return from a trip abroad.
AFRICMIL “condemns in strong terms the unjustifiable arrest of Mr. Onumah and demands his immediate and unconditional release.
“Waylaying law-abiding citizens should not be turned into the preoccupation of an entire security outfit.
“The arrest of Mr. Onumah, coming at the heels of harassment of other critical voices, smacks of grotesque days of the Nigerian history that Mr. Onumah and his comrades fought steely against,” the organization said.
