Rights activist, Agba Jalingo has been moved to Abuja where he’s now being detained by the police.
He was initially detained at the Lagos state police Command, Ikeja before he was flown to the nation’s capital earlier today.
The magazine learnt that operatives of the NPF took him on a flight from the Murtala Mohammed Airport to Abuja on Saturday.
The activist and publisher Cross River Watch had on Friday cried out that his residence at Alapere in Lagos had been surrounded by policemen who later arrested him.
Jalingo’s wife later informed Channels Television on the telephone that her husband has been taken through a flight to Abuja.
The distraught wife said her husband alleged offense is “Defamation of character and infringement of integrity on Frank Ayade’s wife, the younger brother to Cross River State, Governor Ben Ayade.”
Recall that the activist spent close to six months in detention in 2019, after he was accused of treason by the Cross Rivers state governor, Ben Ayade. The case was later quashed by a court.
