The International Press Centre, IPC, Lagos-Nigeria, has called for prosecution of the Police personnel that assaulted Olukayode Jaiyeola, a Photojournalist with Punch Newspaper. Jaiyeola was manhandled by the Police while covering a peaceful protest to mark Nigeria's 60th Independence Anniversary at the Maryland Area of Lagos State. The incident happened around 12:00 noon on October 1st 2020 when a policeman, Innocent Adadu was alleged to have hit Jaiyeola's head with a baton, which immediately made him collapse, with blood gushing out of his injured skull. IPC in a statement signed by its Program Officer\/Safety Desk Officer, Melody Lawal demanded for the prosecution of the culprit.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Friday, affirmed the election of Gov. Douye Diri of Bayelsa. The Court thereby set aside the judgment of the Bayelsa Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which nullified Diri's election as a result of the unlawful exclusion of the Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party and its candidate, King George, from the exercise. The three-man election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja had, in a split decision of two-to-one, nullified the November 16, 2019 Bayelsa State governorship election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dissatisfied with the judgment, Diri, his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, and the Independent National Electoral Commission had filed separate appeals against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The appellate court held that there was enough evidence to show that the case of the ANDP was statute-barred, the party, having not filed its petition within 14 days as stipulated by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On another grounds of appeal, Justice Obande Ogbunya also agreed with the appellant that INEC was right in excluding the ANDP from the November 16 governorship poll on grounds of disqualification of the ANDP\u2019s deputy governorship candidate, who was said to be underage at the time of the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Justice Ogbunya noted that on the whole, Diri\u2019s case had merit and he subsequently affirmed his election as governor of Bayelsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Press Centre, IPC, Lagos-Nigeria, has called for prosecution of the Police personnel that assaulted Olukayode Jaiyeola, a Photojournalist with Punch Newspaper. Jaiyeola was manhandled by the Police while covering a peaceful protest to mark Nigeria's 60th Independence Anniversary at the Maryland Area of Lagos State. The incident happened around 12:00 noon on October 1st 2020 when a policeman, Innocent Adadu was alleged to have hit Jaiyeola's head with a baton, which immediately made him collapse, with blood gushing out of his injured skull. IPC in a statement signed by its Program Officer\/Safety Desk Officer, Melody Lawal demanded for the prosecution of the culprit. The statement reads in part, \"We condemn the unwarranted brutalization of the journalist in the course of his legitimate duty of covering a peaceful protest by a group of Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Although we commend the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Hakeem Odumosu for his prompt intervention over the matter, we hereby demand that the culprit should be prosecuted so that the assaulted journalist could have justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"IPC again calls on police officers and other security operatives to create a safe environment for journalists and other media professionals to carry out their duties unhindered\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
