Representatives of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), civil society organisations (CSOs) and journalists will appraise the safety of journalists during the 2023 general elections at the April edition of Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) Twitter Spaces billed for tomorrow between 11:00 am and 12:30 noon.

The executive director/CEO of WSCIJ, Motunrayo Alaka, in a statement, said the virtual engagement would provide a healthy platform for assessing the 2023 general elections, learning from experience sharing; and proffering solutions for improving the safety of journalists.

The statement said the engagement themed: “How safe were journalists during 2023 elections?” is hinged on the documented incidents of harassment, intimidation, arrest and detention of journalists on electoral duties.  

It said the conversation will highlight the implications of journalists’ safety concerns in the discharge of their duties – upholding the responsibility and accountability of the government to the people as the fourth estate of the realm.

Alaka said  Muyiwa Adejobi, force public relations officer, Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, will join Obioma Okonkwo, legal officer, Media Rights Agenda; Bolanle Olabimtan, reporter, TheCable and Haruna Mohammed Salisu, co-publisher, WikkiTimes, as panellists at the Twitter Spaces.
