Nigerians protest at police headquarters, demand release of Premium Times journalist

Shortly after NOT IN MY COUNTRY condemned the detention of Premium Times Journalist, Samuel Ogundipe, Nigerians have stormed the police head quarters in a protest led by Charly Boy, requesting the Immediate release of Samuel Ogundipe!

Several protesters on Thursday stormed the police headquarters in Abuja to demand the release of a PREMIUM TIMES journalist, Samuel Ogundipe.

The protesters defied stern gun-wielding police officers to carry out the protest in the Nigerian capital.

Led by Deji Adeyanju and Charles Oputa of the #OurMumuDoneDo movement, the protesters asked that the journalist be released immediately.

Mr Ogundipe was arrested and detained on Tuesday for refusing to disclose his source for a story. He was secretly tried by the police on Wednesday and denied access to legal representation at the trial.

The journalist and PREMIUM TIMES have denied any wrongdoing.

The detention of the journalist has been condemned by local and international rights groups including Amnesty International and Committee to Protect Journalists.

Everything is just upside down

O! what a country

Mr Ogundipe was arrested and detained on Tuesday for refusing to disclose his source for a story. He was secretly tried by the police on Wednesday and denied access to legal representation at the trial.

Yet some people like the FTC mai-suya wants us to continue with such a shameless government.

SOME OTHER DUDE ALREADY INFORMED @NigeriaPoliceNg THAT HE WAS Ogundipe's source

so why are they still detaining him?!!

very typical of Naija Police

Oga Transmission at Louis Edet house should do something. We are in a democracy not "demodecrase".

AMA ROGO, is dis tyranny government going 2 imprison everybody in dis country? BUHARI WHY?..

Joblessness

what is jobless about this?

Nigerians must learn how to protest..

protesting is a democratic way of holding govt accountable..

Nigerians must learn this.

I would likewise call for his immediate release.

It is well.

There are even more policemen than protesters there. How can that translate to "Nigerians". And what the Ideeot holding the placard could write is "Buhari drop all charges..." as if it is a personal affair between Buhari and the journalist. nansense. Why not say Osinbajo since he is the one holding fort.

Moreover when others are been harassed....has his people stood against it...

I don't live a hypocritical life....and as for this protest is purely UNNECESSARY

I believe our Acting President is a true Democrat am sure he will look into this issue critically and they will release Him.
