However, following an intervention by a human right activist, Israel Joe, he was re-arrested.
Joe condemned the act and insisted that the Police must prosecute the suspect to serve as a deterrent to others.
He said the Investigating Police Officer, IPO, in charge of the matter earlier released the suspect on December 24, 2024 against the provision of extant laws.
