After 48 hours of nightmare, four journalists with LEADERSHIP who were detained by the police on the orders of President Goodluck Jonathan were released last night.
Two of them – Mr. Tony Amokeodo and Mr. Chibuzo Ukaibe – were, however, released conditionally: they have been asked to report at the police headquarters by 10am every day for undisclosed reasons.
We wish to restate that these conditions are obnoxious and unacceptable in any democratic society.
Our journalists do not work for the police and have no business reporting to the police headquarters while earning their pay at LEADERSHIP.
