A popular radio journalist, Mr. Allwell Ene, has been attacked by suspected hoodlums at Garrison Junction in the early hours of Monday.
Ene, a reporter with Megalectrics Ltd (operators of stations including Naija FM, Beat FM, and Classic FM 91.1), was allegedly assaulted by a group of about 15 to 20 men while on assignment.
According to his account, the attackers pounced on him as he attempted to investigate a reported case of phone purchase fraud involving a victim at Garrison.
The incident has sparked renewed concerns over security in Port Harcourt, with growing questions about the safety of journalists who risk their lives to report on public interest issues.
