I need not mention that a large number of them have paid the supreme price in the line of duty globally. But the question is: who speaks in defence of journalists that professionally cater for the welfare of others? Who protects the journalists? Clearly, not the political-class and that is self-evident in the recent dastardly attack on the press crew during Bola Tinubu’s grand homecoming to Lagos after clinching the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress .
It is bad enough that journalists were singled out for attack in a well-padded convoy that had the State governor and his team, a handful of state governors, serving ministers and presidential flag-bearer of the ruling party, among other dignitaries. Most harrowing has been an official attempt to blackout the incident as if it didn’t happen.
Secondly, the security aides around His Excellency: Those ones seemingly harbour hatred for journalists, and left to them, such ‘irritants’ should have no seat anywhere around their principals, how much more in the official convoy. For LASG-01, it has always been a rancorous debate and a battle to fit in the State House press corps.
