The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) command of the Nigeria Police Force has released the detained CrossRiverWatch Publisher, Citizen Agba Jalingo, on bail after hiding him from his lawyers and other activists for hours.

Citizen Jalingo was arrested at his Alapere – Ogudu residence in Lagos State on Friday following a petition from Mrs. Elizabeth Alami Ayade, the wife of Mr. Frank Ayade who is a sibling of the Cross River State Governor, Senator Ben Ayade for alleged “defamation and infringement of her integrity”.

He was then flown to Abuja, the FCT, where the policemen accompanying him, whisked him away to after touching down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and greeting some friends who were waiting for him. This led to a frantic search for his whereabouts.
