Nigerian journalist, Ahmad Salkida, arrested on arrival from Dubai over alleged links to Boko Haram, has been released by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The BBC Hausa language service has reported that Salkida had sent a text message that he was released without conditions within 24 hours of being detained.
“I landed and I was not intercepted on the ‘plane,” the BBC Hausa service quoted the journalist as saying in the text message.
Salkida further said he had been given a “pre-arranged lift” by the authorities, whom he said misunderstood the role of journalists in reporting conflict.
