Three days after his abduction, the whereabouts of the FirstNews Editor, Segun Olatunji, remain unknown.
His family and the paper’s publisher, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, have raised the alarm.
They said despite their fervent efforts, there had been no word on Olatunji.
According a statement by the publisher, Olatunji was whisked away from his home in the Iyana Odo area of Abule Egba, Lagos State, when a group of armed individuals, two of them in camouflage, stormed their house, collected his phone and forcibly took him away without explanation.
They left without giving any information to his family members.
Iworiso-Markson, reiterated the shock and concern surrounding Olatunji’s disappearance.
He said despite attempts to contact him, Olatunji’s phone remained switched off, and neither his family nor the management of FirstNews had received any communication regarding the reason for his abduction.
Iworiso-Markson said: “In the light of these events, FirstNews reiterates its commitment to journalistic integrity and ethical reporting.”
