“I am sure that this is a journalist who does not have up to a hundred thousand naira in his bank account,” he said, noting that journalists are serving humanity, adding that they are not bourgeois and do not carry money around.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on the Inspector-General of Police, the Director-General, Department of State Service, and the Commissioner of Police and Director of State Security in Abia to ensure the safe release of Onuha without delay,” the NUJ president demanded.
“We are not going to continue to tolerate this, where our colleagues on slight comments, are picked like chickens.”
