TORDUE SALEM: NUJ issues police 24-hour mandate for missing journalist

Following the disappearance of an Abuja based journalist, Mr.Tordue Henry Salem, the Nigerian Union of Journalists FCT Council, has given the Nigerian Police, the Department of State Security (DSS) and other security agencies a 24-hour mandate to produce the journalist.

The mandate was handed down at a World Press Conference organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Chapter, in conjunction with some Human Rights Organizations, including Human Rights Writers Association (HURIWA), Men Against Rape Foundation and others.

The FCT NUJ Chairman, Comrade Emmanuel Ogbeche said that the Council promptly informed the Police and other security agencies immediately the case of Salem was made known to the Council and that he has been following the matter up to today.

He lamented that the Police and other security agencies have so far, not done anything to unravel the whereabouts of the missing Vanguard newspaper reporter who covers the National Assembly.

Ogbeche stated that in this digital age, it takes little or no serious efforts to locate a missing person who has mobile telephone and other facilities easy to track.

“We challenge the security agencies to prove us otherwise.

If it were not so, as at this moment, they would have been able to tell us what efforts they have undertaken in locating the whereabouts of Mr. Salem.

We want to say that there will be consequences for Mr Salem’s disappearance,“ Comrade Ogbeche said.

He also said the onus is on the security agencies to produce Mr. Salem or prove to the Council and the Nigerian public that the journalist is not in their captivity.

The chairman also said that the issue of kidnapping has been ruled out as no one has made any contacts whatsoever.

On his part, the Chairman of Human Rights Organizations, including Human Rights Writers Association (HURIWA), Comrade Emmanuel Onwumbiko, said that the Civil Society Organisations have been raising alarms over frequent disappearance of citizens.

He cited similar cases where citizens have been reported missing, only to be produced by the Police after some months and in some cases, years, like in the case of Jones Abiri, a journalist who was detained by the Police for two years without the knowledge of his family and the public.

He called on the government to scrap underground cells in the country.

He said that the disappearance of the journalist in front of the force headquarters was shameful.

You are giving them 24 hours to find him Oga journalist you know the security issues facing us better than anybody and the police are yet to find those who went missing before him

Every good meaningful individuals out there should put hands on deck so we can take back our country from these scavengers and political charlatans masquerading themselves as nationalists.

Hmmm

But why all these happening to Nigerians

Or what? Which consequence?


The police will even do more. Idiots that have the full backing of the federal government.


Failed country *spits*

S

Na wa ooo

In front of Force HQ? How?

This govt keeps shooting themselves in the foot

I hope he's safe

No prayer can save nigeria, let's stop deceiving ourselves

Use your normal "anonymous confirm source" that you people use in reporting cases to find him

In Abuja? What story was he working on, police should start from there. Is not easy to kidnap someone in the city center of Abuja unless you be .............,

You see Nigerian police? The very foolish body. The NUJ should not even expect anything to happen. That's because they will be wasting their time.

Noted

Hjjj

Tordue's case is very strange. His sister is devastated.

I pray he returns safely.

That is if he's in their custody. Bandits sometimes don't consider making contact with victims' relations necessary especially if he died (God forbid) before such contact could be made. Have they also ruled out road traffic accident and ritual killing, God forbid.

Let's hope police will do something about this one..but for the meantime may he be found Hale and hearty.

Journalism is a high risk profession, especially when you are reporting stories about the high and mighty. His case must not be swept under the carpet.

You are all making noise.

See them . Na now dawn break?

One of una own miss, una remember say 24 hours deadline go work for this case. E be like say una no know wetin una dey deal with. Monster wey una fenster dey look dey grow una no talk na now una no say deadline go work.

My people say when u allow evil to pervade the society without speaking out because it did not affect you then, tommorrow maybe ur turn. So who wsnt follow una stand now? Na im be the koko of the matter.

All this guide of this and association of dat will not help nigeria now because you all have all sold out.

i pity those of you who think the present administration is the cause of all we have been facing. This insecurity and poverty was loading since 1999 and what we see today is just a tip of it. We will still shout and accuse the next administration because most of us don’t even know the root cause. You can’t solve a problem without knowing the origins. E go shock una.
