The editor of FirstNews, an independent digital news network, Segun Olatunji, was abducted by at least ten armed men ‘two of them in military uniforms’ from his home in the Iyana Odo, Abule Egba area in Lagos on 15 March. Olatunji was released on 28 March by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA). He was handed over to the General Secretary of the Nigeria Guild of Editors, Iyobosa Uwugiaren in Abuja. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) welcomes his release, but condemns this act of brutality and intimidation by the Nigerian military on an unarmed journalist.
