The Publisher of the Cross River Watch Agba Jalingo was released, on bail, from Calabar Prison after perfecting his bail requirements, Agba spent 179 days in jail for unlawful detention. 
Agba Jalingo was arrested on the orders of Cross River State governor, Ben Ayade, after he raised questions on the whereabouts of N500m meant for the establishment of Cross River Microfinance Bank.
Agba was detained thereafter arbitrarily for over four months with basic parts of his fundamental Human Rights arbitrarily being violated. 
Agba Jalingo was declared a Prisoner of Conscience in Nov. 2019. And there’s been a call on the FG and the government Cross River by members of the press and journalist alike to drop all the bogus charges against him.
