THE Department of State Services (DSS) has freed a journalist, Adejuwon Soyinka, hours after he was picked up at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
s of the time of filing this report, the reason for Soyinka’s arrest early Sunday was unknown, as DSS spokesman Peter Afunanya had not responded to inquiries by one of our correspondents.
However, a source close to the former BBC Pidgin Editor confirmed his release to one of our correspondents.
The source, however, said the secret police seized Soyinka’s travel passport.
Soyinka, the Regional Editor of The Conversation Africa, was arrested around 5 am upon arrival at the Lagos airport from the United Kingdom.
