The detained Maiduguri Bureau Chief of Daily Trust, Uthman Abubakar, has
been released by the military authorities who detained him since Sunday
afternoon.
The Editor-in-Chief of Daily Trust, Mannir Dan-Ali,
announced the release shortly after speaking to the editor who was
brought back to the Maiduguri office by an unnamed Major who handed him
over to a Security officer at the office.
Uthman who maintains
that he was courteously treated, however, said his mobile phones and
laptop are still with the military. They told him that they need time to
finish the forensic checks they are carrying out on the equipment.
