INFERNO: DSTV Staff Allegedly Assaults TVC Journalists in Lagos














So according to the new at 10 by Television Continental (TVC), two of its reporters were assaulted yesterday by members of staff of DSTV, Nigeria's top pay TV. According to reports, the reporter identified as Lara (can't  exactly remember the name) and her camera man Sunday Moses whom we fondly called Lanky in media circles were allegedly beaten up and their video camera worth thousands of naira were damaged by the crew.

The duo had gone to cover the fire incident that had razed down the super sports building which also housed the studio used for Tinsel and Jara, when they were assaulted. It would be recalled that the fire had gutted down the building located at Ojota despite the efforts of the fire service.

As of now, mum is the word on the legal action to be undertaken by the either the assaulted journalists or their media house. Anyway, seems like beating up journalists is now the order of the day. Am I scared or what?

What would have turned out a bloody attack in Jos, Plateau State capital was Friday night averted by men of the Special Task Force (STF) as unknown gunmen, threw a 36-Hand Grenade in to a Mosque located at Bukuru Expressway, in Jos South Local Government Area of the state. But before it went off, the STF men had taken charge and detonated the grenade.
A witness said at least 10 persons were observing their prayers in the mosque when the grenade was thrown, and immediately followed by sporadic gunshots.
