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. http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2015/3/19/social-media-plays-key-role-in-nigerian-elections.html 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. http://en.rsf.org/nigeria-army-seizes-newspaper-issues-day-11-06-2014,46418.html 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." http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/africa/nigeria/130409/nigeria-journalists-detained-after-story-president-goodl |
