EKO HOT BLOG reports that Oriyomi Hamzat, a popular Nigerian journalist has been arrested by the Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB) and is being transferred to Abuja.

The Oyo-state-based broadcaster and social activist Oriyomi Hamzat is the owner of Agidigbo 88.7 FM, Ibadan.

The State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) in Ibadan invited Hamzat, before handing him over to the FIB.

The FIB is the apex of intelligence gathering in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). It is the only arm of the Force that provides Intelligence on Crime and National Security.

It is not yet clear why Hamzat was arrested.

But this news platform understands that Hamzat has been championing the call for justice for Timothy Adegoke, the late master’ student of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State.

Since Adegoke mysteriously died in Room 305 at Hilton Hotel and Resorts Ile-Ife in November 2021, Hamzat has been on the hunt to track down his alleged killer(s).
