Nigerian newspaper publisher arrested again

There is growing concern for a director of one of Nigeria's leading newspaper companies, Media Trust Ltd, who was arrested in the early hours of Christmas Eve. Alhaji Bello Iliya Damagun was detained by the country's security service, SSS, which has refused to explain why he has been arrested. Damagun, whose company publishes the Daily, Weekly, Sunday Trust and Aminiya newspapers, was twice arrested by the SSS in 2004 and released without charge. His family later sued the federal government for his unlawful detention. (Via AllAfrica.com)
