Premium Times publisher, Dapo Olorunyomi, has been arrested by the police. You will recall that last week, The Nigerian Army sent them a letter, threatening that Premium Times withdraw all the “false” and “unsubstantiated” stories they had disseminated about Buratai or face their wrath by way of legal action. Well, it does appear they have made good on that threat.
Do see below:

You need to turn in your bar license to the law school. This is no justification for wanton arrest of journalists. https://t.co/kDDOaEzyk6
