Hoodlums suspected to be smugglers on
Thursday, beat journalist, Yomi Olomofe to
coma over accusations of reporting their
activities at the Seme-Badagry area.
The victim, Olomofe, who is the Executive
Director of the Badagry based Prime Magazine
narrated his ordeal to Vanguard.
“I was with another colleague of mine on a visit
to the command, when some smugglers, who
claimed that journalists have been writing
negative stories about them, pounced on me”
“While beating me, they threatened to kill me so
as to serve as deterrent to journalists writing
stories about them.
“I was there with the correspondent of Tide
Newspaper, thank God a friend from Rotary
Club came to take me away, I would have been
dead, because I was left there almost lifeless.
“These hoodlums are not unknown. They are
known to everybody, but they are above the
law. They even told me that they have killed
many people and nothing happened”
Meanwhile, Olomofe has called on the Inspector
General of police to come to his rescue saying
his life is no longer safe .
