Inibehe Effiong, a human rights lawyer, was released from Uyo prison on Friday after serving a month in prison for alleged contempt of court.

Ekaette Obot, the Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State, sentenced Effiong to prison on July 27th after the lawyer questioned and objected to the presence of two armed police operatives in the courtroom.

At around 8 a.m., the lawyer walked out of the prison to a waiting crowd of supporters on the prison grounds.

Effiong told journalists and supporters that his imprisonment had strengthened his determination to fight for truth and justice in Nigeria.

"I consider it an honor to be imprisoned for the sake of the truth." "This voice is now louder than ever," he said.
