The Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Warri Correspondents’ Chapel today issued the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Squad twenty-four hours ultimatum to tender an unreserved apology to the Union and four of its members who were unlawfully arrested yesterday.

The Delta State NUJ Chairman, Comrade Michael Ikeogwu said, “for us in Delta State NUJ, we are very concerned about the unprofessional display of these so-called policemen from the IGP.”
