Ahead of next month’s general elections, the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development, CJID, has called on governments at all levels and the security agencies to ensure the safety and security of journalists.
At a security training for 50 journalists across Nigeria, the CJID Deputy Director, Busola Ajibola disclosed that from the CJID Press Attack Tracker, about 53 attacks on journalists were documented in 2022 and many of which occurred during political rallies. She said, “CJID is not oblivious of attacks against journalists and that the attacks tend to increase during election cycles.
“We will therefore have a robust conversation on the safety of journalists in election cycles and the session will provide us with security tips for the 2023 Nigeria elections.”
