Nigeria's state security services say they are still detaining journalist Omoyele Sowore-who is facing treason charges-despite being bailed out because nobody came to claim him. However, Sahara Reporters, a news website founded by Mr Sowore, said that his lawyers were denied access when they tried to collect him from Abuja prison.
Mr Sowore was a presidential candidate in the general election last February.
An activist and journalist who usually lives in the US, he has been charged with treason, money laundering and "cyberstalking" for allegedly sharing false and insulting information about President Muhammadu Buhari, who won a second term in the elections.
