Video: Nigerians storm Police Headquarters, demand release of Premium Times Journalist, Ogundipe
Some concerned Nigerians have stormed the Police Headquarters in Abuja to protest the continued detention and secret trial of Premium Times journalist, Samuel Ogundipe.
The Nigerians who launched a twitter campaign under the hash tag, #FreeSamuelOgundipeNOW to demand the journalist’s freedom condemned his continued detention and condition of freedom given to him by the Nigerian police.
Recall that the Police, yesterday, secretly commenced the trial of Ogundipe at a Magistrate’s Court in Kubwa, while denying him access to his lawyers. He was charged with criminal trespass and theft of police document.
The Police accused him of violating Sections 352, 288 and 319 of the Penal Code. However, a review of the sections, however, indicated that they are not related to the charges but are about sexual assault and attempted murder.
Violence against journalists and media is rare a violation of #HumanRights.#FreeSamuelOgundipe#FreeSamuelOgundipeNow@AishaYesufu@segalink@PremiumTimesng
