Editors raise concerns over harassment, intimidation, prosecution of journalists

The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has raised serious concerns regarding the rising harassment, intimidation, and prosecution of journalists by security agencies in Nigeria. The organization warned that these actions pose a direct threat to press freedom and undermine legitimate journalistic practices in the country.

In response to these developments, the Guild has urged the federal government to intervene and protect the rights of media workers. The NGE emphasizes that the continued targeting of journalists by security forces impedes their ability to perform their professional duties without fear of reprisal.
