Denis Odama, the Cross River man arrested after allegedly asking Governor Bassey Otu on Facebook whether a female commissioner had his nude, has been released from a correctional facility in Calabar following the withdrawal of the complaint against him and the subsequent termination of the case.
Mr Odama announced his release on Facebook on Thursday, posting a photograph of himself in front of the gate of a correctional facility.
“They thought they were arresting Denis Odama. They didn’t know they were arresting the son of grace. Thank you, Cross River. You stood with me and I will always stand with you,” he wrote.
He also made another post stating, “Injustice does not have a leg. It doesn’t stand. Thank you Cross River.”
His release followed an intervention by Mr Otu, who directed his aides who reported Mr Odama to the police to withdraw their complaint.
