NUJ Condemns Arrest, Detention Of Premium Times Reporter
 |
| Yemi Osinbajo |
The NUJ President, Abdulwaheed Odusile, who stated this in a letter he wrote to Osinbajo on Wednesday, also demanded that the detained reporter be released forthwith immediately.
He, therefore, implored the acting President to call the Inspector-General to order and stop his incessant attacks on the media.
The letter read; “I write this petition on behalf of thousands of Nigerian journalists, against the Inspector-General of police, Mr Ibrahim Idris over his incessant attacks on journalists and violent violations of their human rights, culminating in yesterday’s (Tuesday) arrest of a Premium Times reporter.
“Mr Ogundipe is being detained over the publication of the letter of the IGP to your Excellency, in respect of the police investigation on the DSS siege on National Assembly. The journalist is being held to disclose his source of information, a demand that is against the ethical precepts of our profession.”
