Government Brutality: Atiku's Men Maul Journalist Akintunde Akinleye BiafraNigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) yesterday expressed shock and disbelief that Vice-President Atiku Abubakar could be so cold, unmoved and indifferent to the near killing of a compatriot and photo-journalist, Mr. Akintunde Akinleye, by the policemen attached to him. Chairman of the Lagos State Council of NUJ, Mrs Funke Fadugba criticised the Vice- President for maintaining silence over the brutalisation of Akinleye in his presence by some of his security aides during last Saturday’s coronation of Oba Rilwan Akiolu, the new Oba of Lagos , in Lagos. A statement by the NUJ chairman also chided Mr. Henry Oladele Alake, the Lagos State information and strategy commissioner, for his provocative utterances over the incident. Akinleye of Daily Independent was beaten to a coma by the security operatives while attempting to take snapshots of Atiku opposite the VIP stand at the Tafawa Balewa Square Complex during the ceremony.
