In the wee hours of today (July 24, 2013) gunmen, numbering about 15 and reported to be the supporters of Umana Okon Umana, stormed the distribution center of Global Concord, which is located at Udo Street, and seized 5,200 copies of the Wednesday edition of the newspaper; a copy of the newspaper is sold at N150.00. Eyewitnesses reported that when the gunmen arrived at the premises in five keke (tri-cycles that have replaced okada) they began shooting into the air. Luckily, no one was hurt.

The editors of the Global Concord blame supporters of Umana Okon Umana for the seizure of their newspapers. One of the editors went as far as pointing a finger at one Mr. Boniface Nyong, who has admitted to being a media Consultant/Specialist to Umana Okon Umana.

According to the account given by one of the editors, “when the gunmen stormed the building, I asked who sent them and they mentioned Boniface Nyong. I placed a call to him (Nyong) and he admitted that he sent the boys because of the refusal of Global Concord to support Umana Okon Umana. Then he (Nyong) asked me to meet him somewhere so that he could negotiate with me on how to solve the problem. He even offered to pay for the newspapers. Well, I refused to meet with him.”
