Agba Jalingo, Publisher of Cross River Watch, was arrested on August 22, 2019, following a report he published on July 12, 2019, questioning the whereabouts of N500m approved for the establishment of Cross River State Microfinance Bank.
In the article, Jalingo said the micro-finance bank had been rendered non-functional as money earmarked to start its operation was not released. Before his arrest, the police invited him after receiving a petition by the bank stemming from his report.
Thank God for the release of our member. I thank God for Mr. President for allowing the rule of law to prevail in this matter.
This is another victory for the media handlers. I want to posit here that no natural or artificial person can gag the media. The Journalists should be regarded as partners in progress and not enemy of anybody or government
