I hope the Social Media Idiots have a good defence for this one... with SaharaReporters & PremiumTimes being hounded, this might signal the end of exposés on this regime. anyway, methinks there is a bigger agenda behind all these & to actualise that agenda, the media needs to be gagged. now its news media. the social media is next! 6 Likes 1 Share |

Honestly, with these arrests of journalists, I can firmly confirm and believe strongly that the raids on some judges houses and almost all the arrests taken place, including that of EFCC are all propaganda. Even if we are Still in military Era, it's too much already. Brutai should just simply come out and clear all the allegations against him because this his "action" proves that to be true. Thank God I overcame all the temptations to vote for this government even after all their useless promises 4 Likes 1 Share |

I was hoping they will keep him for much longer. Those that fed the tiger when it was small will eventually end up in its stomach niw it has grown In other news, Sahara reporters have gone really quiet lately 1 Like |

Why the arrest in the first instance? The president team are doing more harm to PMB than good by their undemocratic actions. PMB is fast losing goodwill and credibility locally and internationally. I just noticed that the die hard supporters of PMB on nairaland forum have started losing confidence in him. 7 Likes 1 Share |

roughdiamond: But those promises are too fake anyway. How does any rational person vote a party with Lai Mohamed as a spokesperson, a shameless old man who has penchant for lying. I sometimes wonder what lai's children will do if their father lies with such impunity. It's really disgusting. 4 Likes 1 Share |

This is what we get whenever we report the exact way things happened. The Government will always want us to report otherwise...and that is why the receivers will always percieve us as liars. We'all know the ethics of our proffession and so the government arresting us when we carry out our duty is wrong. This has been the ordeal of Journalists since day one. I pray the NUJ will stand up and address this issue The harassment is getting out of hand!! 1 Like |

ivandragon: Even if the govt controls the activities of the print and broadcast media houses, it cant control the digital media. Almost every average Nigerian now has nose for news. If u can control Linda Ikeji from publishing a particular news, there are still one thousand n one other ways for that particular news to get to the public. |

kerryjossy: & how many of those 'digital media' mediums carry out investigative journalism or are as reputable as PremiumTimes? its not about getting junk information from 1001 places, its getting concise & informative news from reputable sources... |

ivandragon: There are!! Majority of them. Some of the news u see on newspapers are gotten from such sources (quote me anywhere). I know we all think that its only trained investigative journalists that does that...it doesnt work that way. I work in a media house. I know how we get some of the news we publish. There are still people out there who are ready to dig out the news behind 'the news'. They musnt work in a media house. Some of them prefer to go online and be heard instead of selling the news to the print media houses knowing fully well that their 'hard sourced information' could be dead when it gets to these media houses. |

kerryjossy: you still didn't address the main issue... how many of these so called media houses are reputable enough to be reckoned with? I do not doubt that there are other media houses that can get their hands dirty when it comes to getting sensitive information, but would people reckon with the source of the information? I remember during the campaigns when PMB said he does not own a house in Abuja, one of these 'lesser' online mediums went as far as publishing pictures of the mansion which was worth over N2b. but how many people reckoned it that information despite the fact that it was true? imagine if SaharaReports or PremiumTimes had released that same information... it would have made a massive dent in APC's campaign. |
