The manager of Suya Joint , a popular West African restaurant in Roxbury, has been released from ICE custody after several months of detainment in New Hampshire.

The update about Paul Dama’s status was published Friday on the Suya Joint Instagram by his sister, Cecelia Lizotte, who’s also the chef and owner of Suya Joint’s Roxbury and new Providence locations.

In a video, Lizotte and Dama can be seen walking away from a building at night. Dama waved to the camera while Lizotte told viewers she picked her brother up in the middle of the night.

“Today, we celebrate freedom,” the social media post read. “After months of unjust detention, our brother and community member, Paul Dama, has finally been granted asylum and released.”
