As Protesters Pro-Govt Protesters Storm Ojota
Unprovoked attacks on journalists has again resurfaced as a group of hoodlums harassed journalists covering the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest at Ojota, Lagos.
As seen in viral video shared on X, a group of journalists from News Central came under assault from hoodlums armed with planks, shovel, and other harmful instruments.
The journalists were visibly chased and shoved into their vehicle parked under Ojota pedestrian bridge.
Over the course of the protest, series of attacks aimed at members of the Press have been reported nationwide.
This has generated reaction and condemnation from Press Institute over the week.
The Press were, earlier today commended for their engagement at the protest by Security Chiefs at a Press Conference held in Abuja.
Specifically, the Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, lauded the effort of the Press in providing reports necessary for the Armed Forces to evaluate and improve their engagement at the ongoing protest.
This, however, was met by another harassment of the fourth estate of realm by hoodlums in Lagos.
