Civil Society Organisations and journalists gathered at the Force Headquarters in Abuja to demand the release of Daniel Ojukwu, a journalist with the Foundation for Investigative Journalism. The protesters included prominent figures such as legal practitioner Deji Adeyanju and presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, advocating for Ojukwu’s freedom. Displaying banners with messages like ‘Free Daniel Ojukwu’ and ‘Journalism is not a crime,’ the group voiced their concerns over the journalist’s unknown whereabouts. Ojukwu was reportedly moved to the National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja by the Intelligence Response Team of the Inspector-General of Police, sparking outrage among press freedom advocates. Despite efforts to locate him, Ojukwu’s disappearance has raised questions about press freedom and the treatment of journalists in Nigeria.
