Police arrested 26-year-old Daniel Ojukwu on May 1 in Lagos. He was reported missing the following day by his colleagues at Nigeria's Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), after friends and family were unable to reach him by phone.
The detention follows investigative reporting by Ojukwu and colleagues revealing corruption implicating senior Nigerian officials.
Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, who was tasked with achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, allegedly ordered the transfer of more than $106,000 of government funds to a restaurant in the capital, according to Ojukwu's reporting.
"I use this word very carefully because they never told us, his lawyers, where he was taken to," Soyombo said. "They never said anything to us."
