On 18 June, activists Larry Emmanuel and Victor Anene Udoka, who were unlawfully detained in Nigeria, were released on bail after spending 72 days in detention. They were tortured by unidentified men on 5 April while peacefully protesting against corruption and the poor human rights situation in Nigeria and distributing posters that were perceived to be critical of President Muhammadu Buhari. A few days later, they were turned over to the police and were subsequently transferred to the Nigeria Correctional Centre, located in Kogi State, in north central Nigeria.
