A Nigerian federal court in Abuja has ordered the remand of journalist Stanley Ugagbe at the Kuje correctional centre after refusing to hear his bail application, with proceedings adjourned until 21 September. Ugagbe, a reporter with the online outlet Secrets Reporters, faces six counts of conspiracy and cyberstalking alongside his publication's editor, who remains at large; the charges stem from articles alleging financial impropriety by a Central Bank of Nigeria deputy governor. The case has drawn concern from press freedom groups, including the Committee to Protect Journalists, who linked Ugagbe's earlier detention — he was abducted from his Abuja home on 3 July — to his investigative reporting.
