BUHARI: IPC FROWNS AT DENIAL OF
ACCESS TO INFORMATION TO GUARDIAN JOURNALIST IN LONDON
The International Press Centre IPC,
Lagos-Nigeria has described as unwarranted and unhealthy for democracy, the
denial of access to information and the call on the London Police to arrest a
Guardian reporter who was making enquiries about the President of Nigeria.
“With visits by top government
officials and leading politicians to the President at the London Abuja house,
his stay there has become knowledge and of public interest” said the Director
of IPC, Mr. Lanre Arogundade.
According to him, such public
interest demands the establishment of an information unit or centre in London
to respond to enquiries about the President.
The IPC Director said other means of
responding to the Guardian reporter should have been explored instead of the
attempt to get him arrested.
