Nine staff members of Radio Ndarason International, including the Editor-in-Chief, Programme Director and Bureau Chief in Nigeria, were arrested this morning at the RNI offices in Maiduguri. The arrest followed a visit to RNI earlier in the day by the Borno State Commissioner for Information and Internal Security. RNI staff members are currently being detained by the police at the Police Headquarters in Maiduguri. RNI staff members were arrested while carrying out their journalistic duties, covering the ongoing protests across the country. The Directors of RNI demand the immediate release of RNI staff and deeply regret the attempts by the security services to intimidate professional journalists who are striving to provide the people of the Lake Chad region with objective and factual information.
