“Right now as we speak with you, I am inside a guardroom at the NDA because a senior officer ordered for my arrest without telling me my offence.
“I showed him my Identity card that I’m a photojournalist with NAN but they (Soldiers) refused to listen to me.
“I was not manhandled by the soldiers. They only detained me and took away my camera,” he said.
The NDA Public Relations Officer, Major Abubakar Abdullahi, when contacted said the photojournalist has been released.
