Luka Binniyat, whose reporting of massacres in Kaduna State provoked the ire of authorities, has been released on bail after enduring nearly three months in a Nigerian prison.
Binniyat told The Epoch Times he will face prosecutors on Feb. 28 on the charge of cyberstalking, which legal experts have called controversial.
âThe conditions in the prison have deteriorated since I was held there in 2017. The prisoners are malnourished and I would say conditions are life-threatening,â Binniyat said.
The journalistâs release was hailed by press freedom advocates and human rights watchers in Nigeria and the United States.
