A statement from the Reuters Institute's Acting Director, Mitali Mukherjee: “We are proud to have hosted Fisayo Soyombo as a Journalist Fellow and we are deeply concerned about his arrest. He is an outstanding investigative journalist and an alumnus of our programme, where he worked on a timely project on the campaigns to tarnish journalists’ reputations. Fisayo’s arrest is a reminder of the challenges faced by so many colleagues who hold power to account. Journalism is not a crime and shouldn’t be treated as such. We hope the rule of law is followed and upheld in this case.”
