PoliticsNGR has just been informed that Nigerian Soldiers have stormed the Abuja and Borno, seizing computers, phones and arresting journalists.

Below is a statement from the Newspaper;

"Armed soldiers have invaded Daily Trust head office in Abuja, hours after taking over the Newspaper’s regional office in Maiduguri, Borno state and arrested the regional editor, Uthman Abubakar and a reporter, Ibrahim Sawab.

The soldiers forced the gate open at the head office and drove in with three Jokic vans loaded with armed soldiers.

Everyone in the building was asked to move to the ground floor while they move computers.

The military personnel retrieved the phones of all staff member in the office.They also loaded all computers at the head office into some of their vans before taking off.

Dozens of soldiers are presently stationed within and outside the building, preventing entry and exit.

It is not clear yet why they took the action but it may be connected with the lead story of Daily Trust on Sunday on military operation in the North East.

The soldiers had shut the gate of the Maiduguri regional office earlier in the day, after arresting the two editorial staff on sight at the time of the raid.

All efforts to get the Military authorities’ response to these invasions have proved abortive as the Nigerian Army spokesman, Brigadier General Sani Usman ignored calls made to him by our reporter.

He later sent a text message asking for a text message inquiry which our reporter sent immediately, but Brigadier General Usman is yet to respond to the text sent to him."

It don de start

The infamous Decree-4 & tyranny of the 1983-85 Buhari era is back again in Nigeria.

Tyrannical displays just starting...


We expect some village idiots to come support these acts of tyranny.

OBJ, Tinubu, Atiku, et al will one day also have a share of this that they have brought on us.

If na Boko Haram now, then go tear race and be shouting "no weapons, we also have families."
Lazy Nigerian soldiers....

Only if they can do this to Boko Haram

This people are mad

A blow to democracy

Impunity, a show of shame by the army.

Why is buhari doing like this now?

Buhari is a dictator....but those soldiers na scapegoats ....

Boko haram will soon handle them and one idiat go post their pix here as a fallen hero

Karma no dey disappoint...

The army is being abused in this country honestly. There is no difference between the military rule and democratic rule anymore. Why will soldiers be storming a news station.? What use is of the police and DSS? No matter your political affiliation we should all condemn this. It is such acts that empower them with the temerity of thinking bullying and battering of citizens is normal. As i type this i am just vexed. It seems as if we make a step forward and gbam!!! We make two backward.

Tyranny. Is this a military regime or Democracy?

Buhari at work.
In the coming weeks towards elections, we will see more bullying and intimidation of oppositions by his police and DSS.
But we are patiently waiting for Jan 15th when the tenure of d IGP expires. Lets see any attempt to renew or extend it.

So saddening..

Freedom is guaranty during speech only but no freedom after the speech.
