Another Nigerian, Ibrahim Abubakar, has been released from prison in Saudi Arabia.
Abubakar’s release came alongside that of Zainab Aliyu, who was also released on Tuesday following the directive by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Justice to intervene in their cases.
Aliyu was arrested for alleged involvement in drug trafficking by the Saudi Arabian authorities.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Mustapha Suleiman, confirmed the release of both Aliyu and Abubakar.
