Multiple eyewitness reports have dismissed claims that by some news medium that the photojournalist of Vanguard Newspaper, Yomi Adeshida, was beaten by security aides of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

A certain twitter user (@TheresaTekenah), who claimed to be a journalist and was covering the event at the time the incident happened went to Twitter to debunk Vanguard's report.

She tweeted "I give up on Nigeria media. Most of these journalist are evil, liars and hearless. The journalist was the first to push the security man when he was trying to tell him to allow others have space to take shots of the VP. It happened right in front of me."

In her follow-up tweet, she said "I am also a journalist as well. Reporting lies is not one of the ethics of journalism."

Also, other eyewitness reports have tagged Vanguard and THE CABLE reports as malicious and fake news aimed at tarnishing Osinbajo's personality.

It is no doubt that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who is a man of great integrity will never allow anyone to be treated unfairly, let alone the press.

Many Nigerian journalists have sold their souls for brown envelope.
