Zainab Sadiq, the arrested journalist working for the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has been released from the Department of State Services, DSS, custody.
Sowore broke the news of Zainab’s release in a post on his verified X handle late Friday.
According to him, the release came after the conscientious intervention and determined pressure of Nigerians at home and abroad.
DAILY POST recalls that the DSS confirmed the detention of Zainab, who was reportedly working with Omoyele Sowore.
“Ms. Zainab Sadiq is finally free from the grip of repression!
“To everyone who raised their voice, made calls, demanded justice, and stood firmly against repression: THANK YOU!
“When people of conscience unite and stand against injustice, repression can be defeated. Welcome back, Zainab,” Sowore wrote.
