Activist Nansel Selman Lar has been remanded in prison custody after a series of arrests and detentions by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) over petitions linked to Langtang North and Langtang South Local Government Areas of Plateau State, with authorities now charging him before the Federal High Court in Jos over alleged cyber-related offences.
SaharaReporters gathered that Lar's ordeal began on June 23, 2026, when he honoured an invitation by the CID following petitions reportedly filed against him over issues concerning the two local government areas.
After responding to the allegations, he was detained the same day.
Sources familiar with the investigation told SaharaReporters that detectives later searched his residence before granting him administrative bail on June 24 pending the conclusion of investigations.
His freedom, however, lasted barely a day.
