Media clampdown will continue – Army

Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen Chris Olukolade.

The Nigerian Army has said that the ongoing clampdown on the media will continue until it is satisfied with its checks on the nation’s newspapers distribution network.

The Director, Defence Information, Maj.Gen. Chris Olukolade, said this on Tuesday while featuring on a programme, entitled Focus Nigeria on the African Independent Television monitored in Lagos.

Though he admitted that the onslaught was at a cost to the media, it would not stop until the military was satisfied that none of the circulating vehicles of the media organisations was not being used to carry arms and ammunition for the insurgents.

He, however, pleaded for understanding, saying the media must consider the military action as one of the sacrifices that should be made for national security.
