The Nigerian Union of Journalists has condemned the attack on a Senior Correspondent of Vanguard Newspapers, Mr. Akpokona Omafuaire by policemen from Ovwian/Aladja Police Division.
Narrating his ordeal after the attack, Omafuaire said he identified himself to the policemen led by one Sergeant Godspower. He said one of the officers threatened to kill him during the disagreement as they accused him of violating the statewide curfew declared by the state governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa.
In a statement by its Chairman, Michael Ikeogwu and Secretary, Patrick Ochei, the council demanded that the erring officers should be arrested and prosecuted for the assault on its members. it said: “Journalists should not be objects of attacks by the police while carrying out their legitimate functions. The #EndSARS protesters are attacking journalists and media houses and at the same time the police are assaulting us. Where do we run to?
