(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/nexusnew/nigerdeltanews.ng/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114The Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, has called for the immediate release of the kidnapped Channels TV reporter, Joshua Rogers.<\/p>\n
Dr Chris Iziguzo, NUJ President, made the call while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
Rogers was abducted from his residence in Rumuosi, Port-Harcourt on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
He was seized by gunmen around 9:00 pm as he returned from an official assignment at the Government House.<\/p>\n
The criminals intercepted him and forcefully took him away in a Channels Television-branded vehicle.<\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing the abduction, the abductors contacted his wife, demanding a ransom of N30 million for his release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NUJ is deeply concerned about the escalating insecurity faced by journalists and media practitioners in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is distressing that individuals involved in the vital work of informing the public have become targets of criminal activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NUJ hereby appeals to the Government of Rivers and relevant security agencies to prioritize efforts towards securing the safe and immediate release of Rogers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The NUJ president emphasised the need to ensure journalists\u2019 well-being and safety during this critical time.<\/p>\n
Isiguzo underscored the gravity of the situation and stressed the need for concerted action to address the rising threats against journalists across Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge for swift and effective measures to be taken to secure Rogers\u2019 freedom and bring an end to this distressing ordeal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NUJ stands in solidarity with Rogers, his family, Channels TV and we demand immediate action to secure his safe return,\u201d Isiguzo said.<\/p>\n
