Opposition figures and activists in Nigeria have called for the release of Daniel Ojukwu, a journalist associated with the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ).

Ojukwu was detained last Wednesday in Lagos by the Nigerian police, who accused him of violating the nation’s cybercrime laws.

Local reports on Sunday say he was subsequently transferred to the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC).

Rights group Amnesty International labeled the detention as “draconian,” and brought the case to headlines as the international community marked  #WorldPressFreedomDay on May 3.
