CWPPF demands independent probe into police assault on Abuja journalist

The Coalition of West African Progressive Professionals and Fellows (CWPPF) has formally requested an independent investigation into the alleged assault of a journalist in Abuja by police officers. The coalition is calling for an inquiry conducted by a mechanism operating outside the direct command structure of the police force involved in the incident.

This demand highlights ongoing concerns regarding police conduct and accountability in the region. By seeking an external probe, the organization aims to ensure transparency and impartiality in the investigation of the reported violence against the media professional.
