Photo Journalist Almost Lynched by Policemen Over Bribery Photo

Men of the Nigerian police this evening almost lynched a photo journalist, Okanyi Enemali at the front of The Lokoja Specialist Hospital. He was beaten up by eight armed police men.

Okanyi was alleged to have taken a shot of a policeman taking bribe from a motorcyclist and was caught in the act. He was beaten for about thirty minutes and was almost unconscious before he was dragged into their police Hilux van which an inscription B OPS KGS - COMMAND 1.

As at the point of this report, if the said photo journalist is not given proper medical attention, I doubt if he will be able to survive it.

Till the point of being bundled into the vehicle, Okanyi kept saying, "I'm a journalist, save me".
 
JUSTICE SHOULD BE DONE OVER THIS ISSUE.
 
I weep for my country, Nigeria.
