The Ogun State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) vehemently condemns the shocking and unlawful abduction of our member, Seun Odunlami, by operatives of the Nigeria Police from Lagos Command.
This unacceptable act, reminiscent of Gestapo tactics, was brazenly carried out in front of Providus Bank, Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta, a few meters away from the Union’s Secretariat, Iwe Irohin Press Centre, by plain-clothed officers in the presence of some of his colleagues before being whisked away to an unknown destination with an unmarked bus while all his phones have since been switched off.
We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Seun Odunlami, detailed explanation for the circumstances surrounding his abduction, as well as investigation into the actions of the police operatives involved. The police must also provide evidence of any wrongdoing or prima facie case against him, as this unacceptable commando-like arrest threatens the very fabrics of fundamental rights of journalists in Nigeria.
The NUJ Ogun State Council stands in solidarity with Seun Odunlami's family and colleagues, who are understandably distraught and concerned for his safety.
We urge all relevant authorities to intervene and ensure Seun Odunlami's safe return while the NUJ will continue to advocate for the protection of journalists' rights and the rule of law in Nigeria.
E-Signed:
Bunmi Adigun,
Secretary, Ogun NUJ.
