The judicial order mandates that Mr. Ojukwu be remanded in the Kuje Correctional Centre until December 1.
According to the ruling, this directive implies that the journalist will remain in detention for the next 21 days.
The case centers on articles written by Mr. Ojukwu in 2023 that focused on a member of the President’s immediate office.
