Omo, gist don dey hot for Rivers State as journalists don dey vex well well. Dem don give Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the state Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, two weeks japa to do serious investigation on recent attack wey happen to Arise TV crew for Port Harcourt.
Dis ultimatum come from people wey dey represent Port Harcourt Press on Thursday. Dem don warn say if e be say dem no carry person wey do the attack come book wetin no go sweet dem for body, dem go carry their wahala enter police work for Rivers State. Na wetin dey happen we say, dem fit boycott all police activities.
Publisher of Port Harcourt Telegraph, Ogbonna Nwuke, no gree hide mouth. E talk say dis attack na big disgrace and e dey show us wetin some politicians dey plan ahead of 2027 elections, you sabi the type wey fit ginger night wahala?
According to PUNCH Online, dis wahala happen for January 2 when some hoodlums waka enter hotel come scatter live interview wey Arise TV dey run with Dr. Leloonu Nwibubassa, former Commissioner for Employment Generation and Empowerment. Wetin keh happen, the boys no just gree talk make dem do their work well, dem come carry some of the broadcasting tools go but later police go carry am bring back, sha!
Nwuke still dey shout, say dis one no just reflect well for journalism, e dey show say the society dey under serious threat. E even talk say the police dey shield the bad guys wey dey show face. “As e be, dem fit dey play their own game because dem never arrest anybody wey dey involve, and to make am worse, the ex-commissioner don mention name of one of the bad guys, wetin police don do? Silence!”
Dem don call for immediate investigation wey go fit bring anybody wey stand for dis wahala to justice within two weeks.
