Nigerian Journalist, Soyombo in hiding as Security Agents hunt him

Nigerian Investigative Journalist has confirmed that he is in hiding as he knows he is being hunted by security agents. According to reports he is wanted for exposing the corrupt practices in the Nigerian Police Force and Nigerian correctional service. If arrested, Soyombo might be charged with and prosecuted under Section 29 of the Nigeria Correctional Service Act.

Fisayo, in his investigative report, spent two weeks in detention — five days in a police cell and eight days as an inmate in Ikoyi Prison to track corruption in Nigeria’s criminal justice system, beginning from the moment of arrest by the Police to the point of release by the prison.

Adopting the pseudonym Ojo Olajumoke, he feigned an offence for which he was arrested and detained in police custody, arraigned in court and eventually remanded in Prison. In the second of this three-part series, he exposes how the courts short change the law, and the prisons are themselves a cesspool of the exact reasons for which they hold inmates. Since the release of the second part of his report, the Nigerian government has been on the trail of the journalist.
