Violence Erupts In Ibadan As Immigration Officers, DSS Assault Journalists by KillIgbohoN0W: 3:54pm On Apr 06

Immigration officers in Oyo State have been accused of assaulting journalists.

Recently, reports emerged that a journalist, Seun Falomo, a cameraman with Galaxy Television was assaulted.

The incident reportedly occurred on Friday, a few minutes after the Oyo State Road Transport Management Agency, OYRTMA, official was arrested and detained for apprehending an immigration personnel who violated traffic rules.

Our sources claimed the immigration officers retaliated by arresting the OYRTMA official, stripping him naked, and locking him up at their Zone F headquarters on Old Ife Road in Ibadan.

But, in an attempt to cover up the incident, the officers then turned their aggression towards the journalists present to report the situation.

In the process, Falomo and others were assaulted and threatened to be killed.

Some of the immigration officers attempted to seize Falomo’s camera which was resisted.

Falomo was pushed to the ground and threatened at gunpoint. He was saved by some of his colleagues and other members of the public.

Our correspondent reports that the incident is coming a few days after some operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) assaulted a journalist in the state.

Chairman, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Oyo state council, Comrade Ademola Babalola, described the incident as worrisome.

Babalola in a short statement issued on Friday, appealed to journalists to be mindful of overzealous security operatives.

He said, “I just read this now. It is getting more dreary, especially coming exactly a week after one of us was battered by DSS.

"We are going to make our position known tomorrow morning. This is becoming worrisome for my colleagues. Let us be wary of these mad people, pls”.

However, all efforts made by DAILY POST to get a reaction from the Public Relations Officer of Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, in Oyo State command, Olufemi Adetunji proved abortive.

Shameless officers. Go and expend your energy on Boko Haram, bandits and Herdsmen.

You people are only powerful when you face innocent harmless citizens.

The truth is Nigeria under APC is being ruled by dictators undecided

DSS weren't as ruthless to journalists under GEJ and Yaradua even OBJ. And the reason is not far fetched some journalists have sold themselves cheaply to politicians and would rather be sentimental because of bread. Any government that allows the press to be attacked is a dictator undecided

You've obviously never worked with expatriates.

Those guys, ehn, their own settlement no be here o. Police for collect ₦500, FRSC up to ₦3,000, Immigration collect tens of thousands. I have had to part with ₦30,000 to ensure one coworker of mine didn't get picked up because his work permit expired and he didn't commence processing for a new one on time.....and that was around 2014.

And don't get me started on the airport goons.

I wonder what they will be collecting now.

Shame! Are immigration officers above the law? The corruption in that ministry alone is something else. Hold those officers accountable.
