The Adamawa State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, has started an offensive against non-journalist private and commercial drivers allegedly using the union’s stickers to deceive law enforcement agents.
The union said in a communique on its meeting during the weekend in Yola that such drivers place the stickers on their windscreens and lie to police and other law enforcement officers that they are journalists, a ploy to obtain forgiveness for punishable offences. The communique, released on Sunday, stated that NUJ members at the November 2, 2024, NUJ Congress at the Press Centre in Yola unanimously resolved to take action against the offenders.
'A one-week ultimatum has been given, effective from November 3, 2024, for the removal of the unauthorized stickers,' the communique revealed. 'Only authorized NUJ members displaying valid ID cards will be permitted to use the stickers,' the communique specified.
