Nigeria Union Of Journalists Bans Media Coverage Of PoliceNG Activities In Delta Over Brutalization Of Member | Sahara Reporters

The Nigeria Union of Journalists, Delta State chapter, has placed a ban on the coverage of all police activities in the state over the unwarranted attack and brutalisation of Vanguard correspondent, Akpokona Omafuaire.“I was driving out of Ighodakpo Street in Ekete when the police attacked me, saying that no one was allowed near that area.

The NUJ said while the brutalisation of journalists was not new in Delta State, the union could no longer watch members being molested, beaten, harassed, brutalised, intimidated and detained."Right now we are calling on our members in the Council to stop attending police press briefings, stop using their press releases, stop covering their activities or taking interviews from them henceforth.

The NUJ added that it was ready to maintain working synergy and cordial relationship with the police if they were ready to do so.
