Fisayo Soyombo, an investigative journalist and FIJ founder, was detained by the Nigerian Army in Port Harcourt amid allegations of involvement with illegal oil activities. As Soyombo's arrest sparked heated debates about press freedom and military jurisdiction, civil organizations demanded his immediate release.
