The Nigeria Union of Journalists during her National Executive Council virtual meeting at the weekend presided by its National President Comrade Chris Isiguzo urged President Bola Tinubu to call the military to order, stating that the activities of security operatives remind Nigerians of the events that usually take place during the military dictatorship.
On the State of the Nation, the Natonal Executive Council of NUJ also urged President Tinubu to address critical concerns that would bring immediate succour to Nigerians and condemned acts of violence that rocked some States during the nationwide Hunger Protest.
The union strongly condemned the unprofessional conduct of security personnel during the hunger protests across the nation especially assaults on Journalists in the cause of the discharge of their schedules, insisting that security personnel must be responsible in their actions on such occasions and exhibit enlightened professional composure.
The union went further and condemned the invasion by security personnel on the Headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress and calls on the Federal Government to caution security agencies from such Gestapo acts under a democratic Government capable of plunging Institutions to the dark days of Military dictatorship.
