Policemen Thursday reportedly brutalized a reporter with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Taiye Elebiyo Edeni, at the venue of the commissioning of Kaduna Inland Dry Port.
The female reporter came from Abuja to cover the event. She is the Transport Correspondent of NAN and was duly accredited to cover the inauguration of Nigeria’s first Inland Dry Port by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The incident happened at the main venue of the commissioning of the dry port, Down Quarters, Kakuri, ahead the arrival of President Muhammadu Buhari and his entourage.
The attack on journalists was heightened after the security denied them access to the main venue despite having their accreditation tags.
There is currently no official reaction from the government or security agencies regarding the incident.
