Ahead of World Press Freedom Day on May 3, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari claimed in a speech that Nigerian journalists were no longer being harassed or detained under his government. At the opening of the Congress of the Federation of African Journalists on April 29, Nigeria’s information and culture minister delivered a speech on behalf of Mr. Buhari in which the president reportedly stated that his administration “has never even contemplated the harassing, not to mention killing, of any journalist.” “The media represents the eyes and ears of the world and attempts to silence it through harassment, arrests, detention and murder of journalists, is akin to making the world go blind and deaf,” Mr. Buhari’s speech read. “I can report to this congress that not a single journalist is being detained or harassed in Nigeria today. “This government is not a threat to the media, and it is not about to stifle press freedom or deny anyone his or her constitutionally guaranteed rights.” ‘Far from the truth’ The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) lists 19 journalists that were killed between 1992 and 2013 in Nigeria. In 10 cases the motive was confirmed as being related to their work. Because no one has been convicted of the murder of the journalists, Nigeria is ranked 13th on the CPJ’s 2015 Global Impunity Index , which spotlights countries where the killers of journalists walk free.
