Nigerian journalist and media executive, Tim Elombah, has been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force in Awka, Anambra State.
Mr. Elombah, affiliated with Diaspora Digital Media (DDM)—an online television network operated by Nigerians in the diaspora—was reportedly picked up from his residence in Awka on Saturday, July 5.
According to a statement released by the media organisation on Saturday, he was subsequently transferred to the Force Headquarters in Abuja by officers of the Intelligence Unit for questioning.
The arrest is said to be linked to a petition reportedly filed by a prominent estate developer. However, as of the time of filing this report, the details of the petition remain unclear, and no official statement has been issued by the authorities.
