#FreeSamuelOgundipe: Protest rocks Abuja over police detention of PREMIUM TIMES journalist

 

A coalition of civil society groups, #OurMumuDondo, has stormed the Force Headquarters, Abuja, to demand the release of detained Premiums Times reporter, Samuel Ogundipe.

 

Led by popular musician, Charlie Boy, the protesters insisted on the release of the reporter, noting that they would not leave until he is freed.

 

 

The activists briefly barricaded the Shehu Shagari Way, forcing motorists to ply alternative routes.

 

 

Presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore, berated the Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Idris, for pressurising Ogundipe to disclose his source.

 

 

Another activist, Ralph Adebayo, described the IG as “ignorant,” noting that “he has been transmitting confusion since he became the Police boss, stumbling from one controversy to another.”
