A Nigerian man, Madukar Orji pictured above took to his facebook page to narrate his bitter encounter with some men of the Department of State Services at the Murtala Mohammed Int’l airport on Friday 15. He claims the men wanted to have him arrested because of some articles he wrote but was saved because he’s an American citizen. Read his post below;[b]“It was Friday, 15th day of April 2016. I arrived at MM intl airport for a scheduled flight back to the U.S., I checked in my luggage and went through immigration to the boarding area. Immediately as I walked away from the immigration scanning area two plain clothed men walked to me; they brought out a photograph of me printed, I guessed, from my blog. They asked, "are you Madukar Orji? I said "yes." They identified themselves as State Security officers. Though I expected this on my arrival, not on departure, I was caught off guard. They brought out about three articles from my big written by me of course. One of them, with chaotic intimidating voice said, “it is Nigerians like you abroad that write rubbish about the country. Calmly I replied, “I don’t know what many write, but I do not write rubbish, I write nothing but truth." I went further to exemplified my points in relation to the articles they had. They stood still for seconds without response. At this point they asked for my passport and boarding pass. They said to me, “it seems your journey has come to an end here.” I said nothing, but gently smiled. In an unintended chorus both men said, “so you are an American citizen? Where is your Nigerian passport?” I said "I am an American, I don’t have Nigerian passport." One of them left with the passport. About 30 minutes later he came back, handed me my passport without a word, and I collected it back without a word too. He then said, "you can go." I left to board my flight, though still have about 5 hours to wait.To cool off the harrassment I found a relaxing zone in MM Heineken Bar.Throughout the encounter neither was I shaken nor surprised. I had a mindset it might come, hence I traveled on a Nigerian visa - it was my Amazing Grace. My experience is portrayal of how low the political corrupt cabal in Nigeria can descent to intimidate free citizens, deprived them free speech. If a little guy like me could be trailed online what about the big guys that live by the pen.There is still more gist to write about my trip.”[/b]Source: https://m.facebook.com/madukar.orji/posts/10206427454304634Via: http://www.trezzyblog.com/2016/04/man-shares-his-bitter-encounter-with.html

One thing we must oppose about the Buhari government is dictatorship and media crackdown. Trailing someone from online to MMI airport because he made a speech?. That's extreme!.

If this government is more interested in controlling the media than improving the economy and living standard of Nigerians, they'll fail in this age of internet. It's dead on arrival. It would not work!.

He was let go because he is American. Arresting him without due cause would have brought the wrath of the states department down on Nigeria.
Poor citizens like you though are the ones at the mercy of these animals, and yet you defend them due to a misguided sense of patriotism.

The Nigerian military on Saturday continued its onslaught on newspapers by sealing off the popular major distribution depot in the Area 1 District of Abuja, from where all newspapers are distributed to agents and vendors across the Nigerian capital.

Witnesses said soldiers in about seven trucks laid siege on the distribution point, preventing any kind of newspaper circulation from taking place.

Media houses promptly devised an alternate and secret means to ensure their papers get to the public in the Nigerian capital promptly; a reminder of the days of military dictatorship.

The Managing Director of Leadership Group, Azubike Ishiekwene, expressed his concern at the situation.

“As I speak to you now, I’ve been driving round Abuja, there are no papers in town. The major newspaper depot at Area 1 has been shut down by soldiers in seven trucks,” he told PREMIUM TMES. “This is definitely an affront on press freedom and free speech.”

It was not only in Abuja that the military declared war on newspapers.

In Lagos, soldiers confiscated thousands of copies of the Saturday edition of Leadership newspaper at the domestic wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

The Lagos editor of the newspaper, Kazeem Akintunde, confirmed the seizure to PREMIUM TIMES.

Foramfera

“Yes, our paper was seized this morning at the airport around 6 a.m.,” Mr. Akintunde said.

The newspaper’s cover story for the day concerns the death of the Emir of Kano and not any report relating to military operations.

He also said a staff of the circulation department of the paper was arrested by the soldiers.

In Benin, the Edo State capital, soldiers continued their siege on the office of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, preventing all but Leadership and The Nation newspapers from being circulated.

Patrick Ochoga, the Edo state correspondent of Leadership in Benin confirmed this to PREMIUM TIMES.

The military attack on Nigerian newspapers commenced on Friday with soldiers confiscating thousands of Nigerian newspapers including Leadership, The Nation, and Punch newspapers.

The military, however, defended its actions in a statement by its spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, who said it was a routine security check.

“The Defence Headquarters wishes to clarify that the exercise has nothing to do with content or operation of the media organisations or their personnel as is being wrongly imputed by a section of the press,” Mr. Olukolade, a Major General, said on Friday.

Mr. Olukolade could not be reached on Saturday to comment on the continuing media onslaught.

The Nigerian government also, Friday, defended the military’s attack on Newspapers.

“The military will not deliberately and without cause, infringe on the freedom of the press,” Mike Omeri, the Director General of the National Orientation Agency said.

According to him, “confiscation of newspapers has nothing to do with content or operation of the media organisations or their personnel.”

The military onslaught against the media might not be unconnected with several media reports, first published by Leadership Newspapers, that nearly a dozen army generals and soldiers on lower ranks were being court-martialled for sabotaging the Nigerian government’s onslaught against Boko Haram; a report the military denied.

The dangerous aspect is that when 2019 draws near ,and buhari plus APc sees defeat starring them in the face due to non delivery of their 2015 campaign promises,notable opposition figures will be forced to support apc through coercion. Social media will be censored under the pretext of national security, the social media bill will be passed sooner or later. Then even nairaland wont be spared
