A photojournalist with the Vanguard Newspapers, attached to the Aso Rock Villa, Mr Abayomi Adeshida, was on Thursday morning beaten up by security details of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

The incident took place at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja during the opening session of the Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit organised by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission NiDCOM, chaired by Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

Narrating his experience to journalists, Adeshida said he was taking photographs of the Vice-President taking a tour of the exhibition stands at the event, when five personnel of the Department of State Services (DSS) suddenly pounced on him as Osinbajo was being presented a copy of the magazine as a souvenir at a particular stand.

Adeshida said he was not told his supposed infraction as he was not in any way obstructing the event or doing anything out of the ordinary before the security details started hitting him, dragged him over the floor and damaged his professional camera, right in the presence of the Vice-President.

“I was shocked when these DSS started beating me for no apparent reason. They tore off my Presidential Villa accreditation tag on the shirt and dragged me on the floor while hitting me and kicking me.

“I believe they would have done much worse if not for the intervention of the Vice-President’s Aide-de-Camp (ADC), who I noticed was making hand movements for them to leave me alone.

“I am feeling pains all over my body and a particular severe pain on my right leg on which I don’t even know what they hit me with”, the Adeshida before he headed for the hospital for treatment.

No other aides of the Vice-President made efforts to stop the humiliation of the journalist in the presence of Osibanjo, who may have been embarrassed by the situation.

The incident happened a day after 35 aides of the Vice-President were reportedly sacked on the orders of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is away on a private visit to the United Kingdom.

So that should be his reward for reporting "fake" news
.....haba

You can do better than that!

Hmmmm Osibande

Story with zero evidence. How come none of the other photographers took a single picture? With all the high tech gadgets present.

Osibanjo Boys are Not Happy at all,
Ever Since Osibanjo was Reduced to Audio VP

I get sick and tired of all these stories really, they have paid all of you to drag the VP's name in the mud but it will not work. They beat you in the hall and nobody intervened How now? Man!!!!!

Caption it properly


Adeshida said he was not told his supposed infraction as he was not in any way obstructing the event or doing anything out of the ordinary before the security details started hitting him, dragged him over the floor and damaged his professional camera, right in the presence of the Vice-President.


"Right in the presence of the vice president"......

Oh....God.










Finally he couldn't hide it. Osibanjo is now a full blown dictator


Timi Frank said it before that it well known that the vice president has a long history of intimidating the press and bullying them to submission and this is exactly what has happened again


The pastor professor has finally lost it

I pray God will still look upon him again

Narrating his experience to journalists, Adeshida said he was taking photographs of the Vice-President taking a tour of the exhibition stands at the event, when five personnel of the Department of State Services (DSS) suddenly pounced on him as Osinbajo was being presented a copy of the magazine as a souvenir at a particular stand.

Obviously, no beating was going on and even if it transpired, where are the pictures and video footage since other journalists, TV and the print media were at the same event.


#Fakenews.

And you a full blown slowpoke to say this ....

You Use ur brain so?

Where its the proof ?

The stupid photojournalist will not tell the part of the story that he was warned several times for breaching protocols at the said event.

That same photojournalist Abayomi Adeshida will not tell the part of the story that he was the first person to harass the DSS official.

Every form of rascality displayed by any journalist should not be kept under the carpet of free press. The fact remain that the Guy goofed big time. You can't just be jumping around every where at every event just because you are a photographer.

The Vanguard photographer breached protocol and the security line.

He was cautioned on a number of times but instead of moving backwards, he went on to assault the security aide.

He grabbed the security aide by the scruff of the neck just as he was restrained from further breaching protocol.

The story by TheCable is a blackmail, a treacherous attempt to blackmail the security aides

There were other photographers there, why is there no picture him beaten black and blue as the Cable claims?[size=8pt][/size]

Report the real news maybe we will try and engage it. You can't fly fake news around and expect us to believe it. You can do alot better.

A photojournalist... in a place with other photojournalists but We are yet to have a photo of the incident? make una softly softly dey lie na... Plus we hear say the guy even break protocol attack security.

yorubas cant stomache the propaganda flying against their own .gone are the days wwhen that tribe controlled the media now the are recieving it hot

What a fake and cooked story,

They just want to blackmail the security aide of the VP. If not what evidence do you guys have to show?

Bad bell people go to hell, VP Osinbajo is the best ever

They didn't beat you well. Idiotic falsehood peddler. You break protocol after u re being warned
