Nigerian anti-corruption activists Randy Peter and Mama Pee have been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following several hours of interrogation in Abuja. The reason for their detention remains unclear, though both are known for publicly criticizing government policies. The EFCC confirmed their release but stipulated that both activists are required to return for further questioning on Thursday. This development follows concerns raised by civil society groups regarding the activists’ sudden arrest and potential suppression of dissent. The brief detention and subsequent demand for a return appearance suggest an ongoing investigation, the nature of which has not been disclosed. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between the Nigerian government and those critical of its actions.
