The Nigeria Union of Journalists on Tuesday condemned  in the strongest terms the arrest and detention of Premium Times Reporter, Samuel Ogundipe  by the Police and his detention at the facility of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS in Abuja.

Samuel Ogundipe was arrested for reporting on a report sent to the Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbanjo by the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris on the sacked and detained DG of DSS,  Lawal Daura.

The NUJ in a statement signed by its President Abdulwaheed Odusile described as horrifying the constant harassment and molestation of Journalists by the Police and other Agents of the State and requests that such should abate forthwith.

It should be noted that confidentiality of sources is necessary for good journalism to flourish and Journalists should not be coerced into revealing such sources.

We call for the immediate and unconditional release  of Samuel Ogundipe and an end to all forms of impunity against the media.
