Oloye Ayodele Samuel, the publisher of Taraba Truth & Facts, has been released from detention.
Samuel was released on Monday evening following a judgement of a Federal High Court sitting in Jalingo, Taraba State.
Justice Usman Bala had earlier ruled that the journalist, who is also the CEO of Rock FM, Jalingo, be released immediately under the same bail conditions granted by the magistrates’ court where the case had begun.
Daily Trust learnt that following his release, Samuel is receiving medical care at a facility due to his deteriorated health condition and trauma.
