Journalists in Nigeria frequently find themselves on the wrong side of the law for simply doing their jobs. Arbitrary arrests and prolonged detentions without trial have become tools of intimidation. The recent arrest of reporters for covering protests or reporting on government corruption exemplifies the misuse of the legal system to silence dissent. Such actions violate both national and international laws that guarantee freedom of the press.
