Nigerian lawyer, Inibehe Effiong has spoken after he was released from the Uyo Correctional Centre on Friday.

Recall that he was sent to prison by Akwa Ibom Chief Judge, Ekaette Obot, for contempt of court.

He was seen given a heroic welcome march by a team of supporters.

Taking to Twitter to break his silence following his release, he wrote:

“I am back, stronger and more determined to confront the forces of oppression and to continue to speak nothing but the hard truth to the faces of the oppressors of our people. I feel sorry for those who thought they can break my spirit by incarcerating me.”
