PUL Condemns Humiliation Of Okay FM Repoter Nyantee Togba

The Press Union of Liberia condemns humiliation of Okay FM’s reporter Nyantee Togba, on the alleged order of Montserrado district #17 Representative Hanson Kiazulu; reviews evidence for possible legal action against those involved

The PUL in a release described the attack as shameful and unacceptable.

The Union maintains that Journalist Togba is protected by the Liberian Constitution, statute and other international protocols to cover protest anywhere in Liberia, with Representative Kaizolu’s home being of no exception.

The attack on Journalist Nyantee, while doing a live coverage of the protest, was an attempt to censor the journalist for just doing his job.

Reporter Nyantee Togba, according to official statement from Okay FM, was attacked on live video while he pleads to identify himself as a journalist was rejected.

Pictures of Nyantee Togba later emerged on social media sitting on the floor among the protesters outside the compound of Montserrado County District #17 Representative Hanson Kiazolu.
