Dapo Olorunyomi, publisher of PREMIUM TIMES and Evelyn Okakwu, the newspaper’s judiciary correspondent arrested on Thursday afternoon, have regained freedom.
They were released on bail and instructed to report at the FCT Police Command Headquarters by 8:00 a.m. Friday morning.
But a highly-placed police source said there are chances that the two could be taken before a Magistrate’s Court.
The journalists were arrested after several plain-clothed officers raided PREMIUM TIMES office.
The newspaper’s managing editor, Idris Akinbajo, hailed the “overwhelming” support from Nigerians and readers around the world.
He said the paper would release a full statement after the journalists meet the police Friday morning.
