Tony Ezimakor, the Abuja Bureau Chief of Daily Independent Newspaper has been released after spending 6 days in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

A release made available to newsmen by Don Okere, editor of the newspaper stated that the DSS released Ezimakor about 10:30p.m on Tuesday.

“Ezimakor was arrested on Wednesday, last week, by DSS over a publication on the payment of about $2 million ransom to Boko Haram for the release of 82 abducted Chibok girls.

Apparently embarrassed by the publication, the DSS invited and detained Ezimakor after harassing staff of Independent Newspapers at the Lagos office.

The DSS had insisted that he disclose sources of his information as a condition for his release. But Independent Newspapers had asked the DSS to go to court if it felt aggrieved with the publication.

We want to use this medium to thank local and international press, lawyers, civil society organisations, and well-meaning Nigerians for their efforts and solidarity during the period of detention of Tony Ezimakor,” the release reads.

1974 loading

nonsensical security agency struggling to be in the same levels with FBI, CIA, KGB, m16,and Mossad

As it was in 1983-85, so it is from 2015-19..
Nothing changed..
Except that the generation of victims are different..

A coded message, crack it if you can..

I will proceed no further..

"the DSS invited and detained Ezimakor after harassing staff of Independent Newspapers at the Lagos office."


That is all this administration is known for, harassing people that expose its lies.

Anti-media government of Dumbohari and his gestapo-style method of governance will fail. The dumb tyrannic dullard will live his post-aso rock life in regrets and penury.

Buhari will surely not end well with his tyrant way of ruling
