GEJ Does Not Allow Press Freedom. Read This by afuye(m): 5:57pm On Mar 20, 2015
For a party that keeps referring to GMB's arrest of journalist in 1983 and yet they have done worse in 2014/2015 , that is the height of hypocrisy.


In February 2015, Nigerian website The Nation Online reported that Department of State Security officers broke into the home of Tife Owolabi, a Reuters correspondent. “The DSS men stormed my apartment on Saturday to conduct a search and claimed it was based on an order from Abuja. The DSS men claimed that I am unpatriotic, owing to my job and relationship with the Thomas Reuters,” he reportedly said.

According to a dispatch from Reporters Without Borders, the editor of the weekly newspaper Tentacle was arrested on Jan. 14, after months of harassment for publishing an article, “20 threats against Jonathan’s re-election survey,” referring to Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan. The editor was reportedly held for two weeks by state security, despite a court ruling ordering his release.

The confiscations began early on 6 June when members of the security services and armed forces moved in on distributors and sellers in Nigeria’s main distribution points – Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Jos, Maiduguri and Ibadan – seizing copies of The Punch, Vanguard, The Nation, Leadership and other newspapers. Copies were also seized at Lagos international airport and in the Port Harcourt region.

Two Nigerian reporters have been detained after publishing an article critical of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Tony Amokeodo and Chibuzor Ukaibe of Leadership, a daily newspaper, published an article last week titled: "Outrage trails presidential directive on Tinubu, APC."
