The Nigeria Police Force has released journalist Ayoola Babalola, who was detained during the #EndBadGovernanceinNigeria protests in Abuja.

Babalola, 25, was taken into custody on Saturday and held at Wuye Police Station under the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.

According to PUNCH Online, Babalola was freed around 3 p.m. on Sunday, a day after his arrest.

“Yes, I have been released. I was released around 3 pm on today (Sunday). The detention lasted for over 24 hours, but I’m home now.

“I am grateful to all who led their voices calling for my release,” he told SaharaReporters.

Civil Society organisation, Take-It-Back Movement, had, in a circular, confirmed Babalola’s arrest and demanded the immediate release of the journalist.

Meanwhile, operatives of the Department of State Services have arrested one of the leaders of the ongoing Endbadgovernance protests in the Federal Capital Territory, Micheal Lenin.
