Following increasing anti-press violence and prosecutions especially by government officials and security agencies, Nigeria has emerged as the most dangerous place in West Africa for journalists, according to a survey released by global media advocacy organisation, Reporters without Borders also known as Reporters Sans Frontieres (RSF).

The survey was released on Sunday evening to mark the 2020 World Press Freedom Day.

The country ranked 115 among the 180 countries ranked in the survey.

The report captured the difficulty experienced by journalists working in Nigeria.

Two journalists have been shot dead after the 2019 report was released last year. The two were killed while covering the Islamic Movement in Nigeria protests – one in July 2019 and the other in January 2020.
