The
Nigerian Guild of Editors has said that it is scandalized and shocked by the
conduct of security agents, particularly the military which laid siege to the
roads round the country and seized consignments of newspapers meant to be sold
to the general public.
The crackdown,
according to the guild lasted throughout the morning hours, causing huge
economic losses to the publishing houses.
The body
of senior journalists rejected the explanation of the military that the raid
was occasioned by a certain security report it got.
The
Nigerian Guild of Editors said the media do not bear arms, rather it bears
information which sheds light on darkness no matter how seemingly impenetrable
the darkness is.
