Fisayo Soyombo’s arrest attempt to hide Navy involvement in crude oil theft – Adeyanju
Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, on Friday condemned the statement by the Nigerian Army regarding the arrest of investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Adeyanju said the remark by the Nigerian Army regarding Soyombo’s arrest indicated an attempted complicity to hide Naval officers involved in oil theft.
He disclosed that top-ranking officers often exploit postings to oil-rich regions to enrich themselves.
In a statement he signed, Adeyanju said Soyombo’s arrest under the guise of oil theft is an attack on press freedom.
DAILY POST had reported that Soyombo alongside others were arrested for oil bunkering and have been in custody of the Nigerian Army in Port Harcourt for three days.
Condemning his arrest, Adeyanju faulted the remark issued by the Nigerian Army
