A renowned journalist and West African Regional Editor of the Conversation Africa, Adejuwon Soyinka, has been taken into custody by the State Security Services (SSS).
According to sources, Soyinka was arrested on Sunday at about 5:40 a.m. at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. He had just arrived from the United Kingdom, having travelled via a Virgin Atlantic flight.
The SSS is yet to provide any explanation for Soyinka’s detention.
Meanwhile, efforts to reach him have been unsuccessful, as his phone remains unreachable, with messages and calls going unanswered.
Soyinka is also a former Pioneer Editor of the BBC Pidgin Service.
