NUJ angry over attack on journalist covering nationwide protests in Kano
Following the planned nationwide protest against bad governance, taking place on 1st August, 2024, journalists on field work were attacked by hoodlums who have taken advantage of the situation to engage in rampage and mob action.
A bus belonging to the Channels Television carrying 11 journalists from various media houses, including print and broadcast, was attacked by the hoodlums wielding dangerous weapons along Sokoto Road in Kano.
They smashed the glasses of the bus as it passed by, with sprinkles of glass showering on the passengers and injuring some of them.
Similarly, a car belonging to Wazobia, Cool FM, Arewa group conveying reporters was attacked by hoodlums near the Kano Government House.
We wish to state clearly that it is constitutional for citizens to stage peaceful protests but illegal and unlawful to subject other citizens to intimidation and abuse.
We therefore condemn in very strong terms the attack on journalists who are out performing their jobs as responsible members of the society contributing their quota for the progress and development of our dear nation.
We will also use this opportunity to call on all authorities concerned to ensure that law and order is maintained in the state .
Comrade Abbas Ibrahim
Chairman.

In a statement issued on Thursday in Lokoja, the North Central Coordinator of the group, Isaiah Akoh, emphasized that Hon. Yusuf possesses the experience, leadership qualities, charisma, extensive connections necessary to lead the PDP towards unity and strategic repositioning.
The statement outlined several reasons for their endorsement of Hon. Yusuf, particularly noting that the party’s future success lies in having a chairman from the North Central region.
The group pointed to his extensive political background and ability to bridge gaps within the party, especially in light of the challenges the PDP faces.
“We believe that Hon. Teejay Yusuf is the right candidate at this crucial moment,” the statement reads. “Yusuf is not merely a legislator; he is an experienced statesman with a proven track record.
