NUJ Raises Concern Over Media Reportage of NDLEA Incident in Calabar

  The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Cross River State Council, has expressed concern over reports by some journalists portraying the recent encounter between operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and Prince Alobi, a staff member of Radio Nigeria, Canaan City FM 99.5 , in Calabar , in a manner that paints a grim picture of the situation while presenting the individual as a journalist. The Council considers it unfortunate that the incident occurred but is particularly concerned about the narratives emerging from some media reports, which appear to have amplified the situation without adequately establishing the professional status of the individual involved. For clarity, the individual in question is not a journalist and does not belong to the NUJ. The Council therefore urges journalists and media organisations to exercise caution in their reportage and avoid presenting the incident in a way that could mislead the public into believing that a member of ...
