Jones Abiri: Deji Adeyanju’s group cries out over rearrest of journalist
The Concern Nigerians Group, has lamented that the country was “fast drifting into fascism” under the current Federal Government.
A statement signed and forwarded to DAILY POST by Adeyanju reads: “We condemn in its entirety the gestapo manner in which a Bayelsa based Journalist and Publisher, Jones Abiri was re-arrested by men suspected to be men of the Department of State Services. “The re-arrest of Journalist, Jones Abiri who was released few months ago by a competent court of jurisdiction after a prolonged incarceration by the DSS is a clear affront on press freedom.
“If this kind of behavior continues, it’s going to result in journalists being afraid to ask questions and people being afraid to stand up for the country.
