The Nigerian Army has disclosed that Fisayo Soyombo is being investigated over oil theft.
This is coming amid reports that popular investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo, is being held by the Army in Port Harcourt.
However, in a statement issued on Friday, the Acting Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, 6 Division, Lieutenant Colonel Danjuma Jonah Danjuma, said Fisayo Soyombo was one of those arrested among those involved in oil theft.
He, however, did not disclose whether this was the same as the investigative journalist or name semblance.
Danjuma highlighted the division’s recent successes in tackling illegal oil bunkering in the Niger Delta, explaining that intelligence had uncovered a gang involved in pipeline vandalism and oil theft
