Breaking: DSS Releases Journalist Soyinka, Seizes Passport

The Department of State Services (DSS) has freed a journalist, Adejuwon Soyinka, hours after he was picked up at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

The reason for Soyinka’s arrest early Sunday was unknown as of the time of filing this report but a source close to the former BBC Pidgin Editor confirmed his release to one of our correspondents.

The source, however, said the secret police seized the travel passport of Soyinka.

Soyinka, the Regional Editor of The Conversation Africa, was arrested around 5 am upon arrival at the Lagos airport from the United Kingdom.
