Police Arrest Journalists Covering Protest Against Fuel Hike, Electricity Tariff by Kwanza3323(m): 8:20pm On Sep 10, 2020
The President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has become popular for clamping down on peaceful protesters and opposing voices in the country.

Officers of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested journalists covering a protest against the increase in price of petrol and electricity tariff in the country.

It is completely unacceptable, and we enjoin all Nigerians interested in preserving this country's hard-earned democracy to condemn this emboldened descent into a civilian-military dictatorship.

Total of 18 arrested including four journalists: Dagga Tolar SPN NEC member, Bar Ayo Ademiluyi, Chinedu Bosah, SPN National Secretary, Lexan Ali, Fidel Davynovich , Oluwole Engels and Hassan Taiwo Soweto, SPN National Youth Leader and eight others.

Journalists that were arrested are Ifeoluwa Adediran of Premium Times, Abiodun Ayeoba of SaharaReporters, Awoniyi Oluwatosin of Objectv media and Daniel Tanimu of Galaxy TV whose camera was seized. Some journalist’s phones were also seized. Now at the Lagos State Police Command.
