ASSOCIATION OF CROSS RIVER ONLINE JOURNALISTS (ACROJ)
PRESS RELEASE
We condemn in strong terms the attack on our Comrade, Inyali Peters Publisher of Fearless Reports by Mr. Boniface Ishamali, Special Assistant Petroleum to Governor Ayade.
It Is archaic, uncivilized, childish and barbaric attempt to stifle members of the fourth estate of the realm who strive in a legal way to inform Cross Riverians at home and diaspora of the happenings in the State.
One will expect that public office holders to act with the highest level of civility since they hold these offices in trust of the people.
But, it is regrettable that an aide to the governor on research and branding as well as another on petroleum; two very vital offices will descend so low to attack a young and vibrant Cross Riverian who is contributing his quota to the development of the state and legally so.
We call on the Police to investigate the brazen attempt of those who do not appreciate the good intellectual work of journalists to deter those who may see this as a new trend despite the fact the world seeks new ways to protect them.
Redress through a law court is what any aggrieved individual should do but resort to self help.
