Nine Radio Ndarason Internationale staff members, including the editor in chief, the head of programmes and the office director in Nigeria were arrested at RNI offices in Maiduguri this morning. The arrest followed a visit to RNI earlier in the day of the Borno State Commissioner for Information and Internal Security. The RNI staff members are currently being detained by the police at police headquarters in Maiduguri. RNI staff were arrested as they were doing their jobs as journalists: reporting on the current protests throughout the country. The directors of RNI demand the immediate release of RNI staff, and deeply regret attempts by the security services to intimidate professional journalists working to provide the people of the Lake Chad region with objective and factual information.<\/p>\n
