Police arrest three journalists at #RevolutionNow protest in Calabar - Premium Times Nigeria

Three journalists who covered the #RevolutionNow protest in Calabar have been arrested by the police.

Nicholas Kalu of The Nation, Jeremiah Achibong of CrossRiverWatch and Jonathan Ugbal of CrossRiverWatch have all remained in custody since Monday morning. Mr Jalingo, the publisher of CrossRiverWatch, told PREMIUM TIMES Mr Achibong, the paper’s managing editor, was arrested when he turned up at the police station to bail Mr Ugbal, who had been earlier arrested.Cross River police commissioner, Austin Agbonlahor, was entirely evasive when reached for comments about the journalists’ arrest Monday night.

President Muhammadu Buhari argued that a revolution is inherently violent and treasonous, a statement that appears to have encouraged security agencies to unleash violence on citizens caught showing support for a revolution.

The game is “Everyone arrested is a Journalist” just like “Every crime is committed by Fulani herdsmen “ ain’t you tired 😴 of propaganda

The worse democratic govt in d history of Nigeria is dis Buhari govt. The rite to protest is pat of our human rite......u can Neva take it away from us....
