So according to the new at 10 by Television Continental (TVC), two of its reporters were assaulted yesterday by members of staff of DSTV, Nigeria's top pay TV. According to reports, the reporter identified as Lara (can't exactly remember the name) and her camera man Sunday Moses whom we fondly called Lanky in media circles were allegedly beaten up and their video camera worth thousands of naira were damaged by the crew.
The duo had gone to cover the fire incident that had razed down the super sports building which also housed the studio used for Tinsel and Jara, when they were assaulted. It would be recalled that the fire had gutted down the building located at Ojota despite the efforts of the fire service.
As of now, mum is the word on the legal action to be undertaken by the either the assaulted journalists or their media house. Anyway, seems like beating up journalists is now the order of the day. Am I scared or what?
