Nigeria: Further information: Journalist released on bail: Agba Jalingo
On 13 February 2020 a Federal High Court in Calabar granted bail of N10 million to Agba Jalingo, publisher of Cross River Watch, after 174 days in detention. He had been charged with treasonable felony, terrorism and cybercrime offences over a report alleging diversion of Cross River State funds.
How this report was compiled
Every record in this report is compiled by hand from reports published by named rights monitors, news outlets and official bodies, and links to the source it draws on. Each record is dated to the incident where its source gives that date, and otherwise to the date the source was published. The figures show what has been recorded, not the full extent of what has happened: incidents that were never reported do not appear, and a state with few records is not necessarily a state where little took place.
