Tunji Omirin Arrested As Soldiers Invade NUJ Press Centre In Borno by dre11(op): 5:58pm On Jan 30, 2020

Soldiers from the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri on Thursday invaded the Press Centre of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and arrested Daily Trust reporter, Mr Tunji Omirin.

The soldiers – one in uniform carrying assault rifle (AK 47) and two others in plainclothes handcuffed Omirin and dragged in into a waiting Ford Focus light blue car.

“We are from 7 Div; we are taking him there,” they said, as they drove off from the Press Centre at about 4:40 pm.

His colleagues at the Daily Trust Regional office in Maiduguri twice in the day requested to see Omirin, claiming they wanted to do a change of name.

This is coming barely a year after the newspapers bureau chief and a reporter were arrested by soldiers.

Na for civilians body una dey show power.
If Boko boys show na, they’ll throw gun and uniform and japa, then start blaming Government for not providing them with rockets, missiles, and nuclear weapons.

why not ask for the real reason why they were taken from the Army spokesperson on twitter... not everything requires wailing you know

Nigerian Army gets ambushed daily yet you dont want them to investigate the information leak

Only Army, Medical Personel and Journalist have access to theater of war, yet Armies and Medical staffs are being ambushed while journalist get full access to record Leah's naming ceremony and CAN chairman beheading

Release him immediately. Journalists should not be harrased. If he has done something wrong DSS or police are the right people to interact with him.

Daily Trust should immediately pettition the Department of Civilizian Military Affairs/
Nigerian Army Human Rights Desk on this issue.

Use your brain. Soldiers have no right to arrest in a democratic government.

Instead of the Nigerian Army to storm BH enclave for an assault operation of this nature, they're here flexing muscle with a poor journalist.
