  The Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Rivers State Police Command, demanding a public apology for the assault on five journalists during a peaceful protest in Port Harcourt. Failure to comply, the union warned, would result in a statewide media blackout. In a statement jointly signed by Council Chairman Comrade Paul Bazia and Secretary Dr. Ijeoma Tubosia, the NUJ condemned the police actions as “unprovoked, barbaric, and inhuman,” calling for the immediate identification and prosecution of the officers involved. “The NUJ, as a watchdog of society, will not sit idly by while media practitioners are subjected to barbarism and brutality. Enough is enough,” the statement read, adding that further attacks on journalists would be “vehemently resisted.” The assaulted journalists—Charles Opurum of Channels TV, Allwell Ene of Naija FM, Soibelemari Oruwari of Nigeria Info, Ikezam Godswill of AIT, and Femi Ogunkhilede of Supe...

THREE MISSIONARIES, MURDERED IN HAITI. (PHOTO).


  Two Americans and One Haitian Missionary Murdered in Port au Prince.


Three missionaries were killed in Port Au Prince overnight. 


On the evening of Thursday, May 23, two American missionaries from Missions in Haiti, Davy and Natalie Lloyd, and the organization's Haitian Head of Staff Jude Montis, were killed in a gang attack on the Missions In Hope compound in the Bon Repos neighborhood of Greater Port-au-Prince.  


A public Facebook post by the ministry while the incident was in progress indicated the missionaries were ambushed by a gang as they left a church meeting. They were taken to a house on their compound, which the gang looted. At some point, a second gang arrived, ostensibly to help the missionaries. Gunfire broke out, and a gang member was killed. Specific circumstances are unclear, but the CEs and staff member were subsequently killed as one of the gangs went into “full attack mode,” according to the post:



Concilium President Scott Brawner was quoted in a statement:


"My heart breaks for Missions In Haiti and the many Haitians and American families impacted by this senseless tragedy. Missions In Haiti has been a strategic partner for many ministries and humanitarian organizations in Haiti for three decades and a champion of the Haitian people since the founding of the organization. The Lloyd family has maintained a godly witness in Haiti for such a very long time. I am humbled by their commitment and heartbroken for their loss. The Concilium family grieves with and for all the families and friends of Missions In Haiti who lost loved ones last night."


Concilium is calling for its friends and followers to please be in prayer for Missions In Haiti, their staff, and the families of the slain victims. Please pray for a peace that surpasses all understanding and for hope in the midst of despair.


But if Not.
