The lawyer stepped out of the prison at around 8 a.m. to a waiting crowd of supporters around the prison premises.

Effiong was reportedly abused by prison officials who scraped his hair and beard, as seen on Friday, the lawyer’s beard had been shaved off.

Mr Effiong told reporters and supporters that, “I consider it an honour for me to be incarcerated for the truth.
