-- Vendors in Akwa Ibom State have expressed worry over the alleged order from the State Government banning the sale of newspapers perceived as “opposition” in some strategic places in Uyo metropolis.
-
The vendors have vowed to protest by refusing to
sell pro-government tabloids like Pioneer Newspapers.
-
The draconian order seemingly climaxed when a
vendor named Unyime was allegedly beaten to coma and his wares seized as he
carried out his legitimate business adjacent to the re-opened Ibom Plaza mini
market.
-
It is said that agents who claimed to be sent by
governments initially warned them not to allow readers cluster at their news
stand to discuss political issues.
CULLED FROM GLOBAL POST
