After nearly two months in custody, the Department of State Services (DSS) released the embattled factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Atiku Abubakar Isah, on Thursday, following growing public outcry and legal pressure.
According to Sahara Reporters, Isah was reportedly handed over to his family and legal team after weeks of delayed bail compliance despite fulfilling all conditions set by the court.
Earlier in the day, a report had surfaced that the DSS had refused to release Isah, despite the completion of additional paperwork requested on Wednesday.
