Attack On The Press Must Stop – Nigeria Police Force

Nigeria Police Force

The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, has openly condemned personnel attacks on journalists covering protests and other related civil actions in the democratic space. The Relations Department of the Nigeria Police Force, ASP Olamiju Olubunmi, recently had her say in Abuja, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, journalists should never be seen as enemies, and it is unfortunate that some police personnel choose to attack them and also destroy their equipment.

She added that members of the NPF must give journalists protection since they are out to perform their constitutional duties as the police.

Her words, “I want to state clearly that the Nigeria Police Force does not in any way support journalists being attacked while carrying out their duties.

In an organisation of over 100,000 people, you can have a few bad eggs. Unfortunately, their actions are what get broadcast to the whole world.”

WOW.
