Chuks Okocha in Abuja
The International Press Institute (IPI Nigeria) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) have urged security operatives to immediately release Stanley Ugagbe, a journalist working with Secret Reporters.
Ugagbe was reportedly taken into custody shortly after Secret Reporters, the online news platform where he works, published an investigative report.
In a statement jointly signed by its Secretary, Ahmed I. Shekarau, and Legal Adviser/Chair, Advocacy Committee, Tobi Soniyi, IPI Nigeria said it received the report on the journalist’s detention with deep concern.
