Shooting of The Nation’s correspondent in Osun is an act of aggression, terrorism, says HURIWA | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Civil society group, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has condemned operatives of the Osun Police Command that allegedly shot The Nation Correspondent, Toba Adedeji, for reportedly covering students protest at Orita Olaiya.

HURIWA lamented that due to the ineffective leadership of the Police Service Commission, there is a steady spike in cases of professional misconduct, and called on President Muhammadu Buhari to reorganise the hierarchy of the Police Service Commission given that the current leadership has become lethargic and unproductive.

“The moment the media becomes too scared to monitor the activities of government then democracy will die a natural death,” it stated. Adedeji and the yet-to-be-identified citizen were reportedly shot by some overzealous policemen who were trying to disperse a group of people who had gathered to mourn the death of Abiola Afolabi, who was allegedly killed by police officers last month.
