BREAKING: Nigerian Army Releases Journalist Fisayo Soyombo After Three-Day Detention

Published

on

The journalist regained his freedom on Friday evening, according to a statement by the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), the organisation he founded.

Nigerian investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo, has been released by the Nigerian Army following mounting public and media pressure.

Soyombo, known for his fearless exposés on corruption and abuse, was reportedly held by the military operatives in Port Harcourt earlier this week.

The journalist regained his freedom on Friday evening, according to a statement by the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), the organisation he founded.

While confirming his release, the FIJ expressed concerns for Soyombo’s safety, citing fears of reprisals from Nigerian security agencies over his recent investigative work.

Soyombo’s detention was condemned by civil society organisations, and international media bodies, who viewed his arrest as a troubling attack on free speech.

The statement read, “We can confirm that our founder ‘Fisayo Soyombo has now been released by the Nigerian Army, following the intense media campaign you all mounted.
“FIJ acknowledges the Nigerian Army’s deliberate mischaracterisation to suggest an involvement in “illegal oil bunkering”. FIJ will also address this statement appropriately.
“Our immediate concern is regarding the safety of ‘Fisayo Soyombo in view of extensive information sharing with the Army on his fieldwork during the period of his detention. We are assessing the situation and hoping that his safety will not be jeopardised after release,” FIJ said.

Earlier, SaharaReporters reported that the Nigerian Army claimed that Soyombo was arrested alongside other suspects at an oil bunkering site in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.

Reacting in a statement made available to SaharaReporters, the Acting Deputy Director Army Public Relations, 6 Division, Lt Col Danjuma Jonah Danjuma, confirmed that Soyombo was being detained by the military, adding that its troops swooped on an illegal oil bunkering site, where arrests were made.

“It took me getting married and giving birth to realise marriage benefits men more” — Woman shares emotional thoughts

Published

on

 

A woman has stirred serious conversations online after opening up about how marriage and motherhood changed her perspective on life.

In a heartfelt reflection, she said it was only after getting married and giving birth that she began questioning who marriage truly benefits.

According to her, women often carry the heavier load — emotionally, physically, and mentally.

She explained that marriage can make women feel like tools, responsible for cooking, cleaning, caring for the home, and even contributing financially, while still bearing the full weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.

She questioned why something described as a “blessing” should come with so much pain, stress, sleepless nights, and emotional strain for women.

In her words, childbirth comes with intense pain, followed by years of responsibility that largely fall on the woman, while many men continue life almost unchanged.

She admitted she never strongly pushed for marriage herself and only went along with it after family pressure. It was the lived experience — not theory — that opened her eyes.

While she made it clear that she loves her son deeply and finds joy in him, she said motherhood also forced her to confront uncomfortable truths about expectations placed on women.
