Police Release Detained PREMIUM TIMES Publisher, Journalist

The police in Abuja late Thursday released   PREMIUM TIMES Publisher and a journalist that were arrested on Thursday afternoon. [see here]
Dapo Olorunyomi, publisher of the newspaper, was arrested alongside the judiciary correspondent, Evelyn Okakwu, at around 5:00 p.m.

They were released on bail and instructed to report at the FCT Police Command Headquarters by 8:00 a.m. Friday morning.

But a highly-placed police source said the invitation could be a ploy to detain the journalists for an extended period.

The police source said there are chances that the two could be taken before a Magistrate’s Court.

Their arrest sparked widespread condemnation, with the Amnesty International promising to launch an investigation into the motive behind it.
