Editor of THE INK Newspaper, Nsibiet John has condemned the arrest of Mr. Daniel Elombah publisher of an online news platform Elombah.
In a press release signed by the Akwa Ibom born media star, the Editor described the arrest as barbaric, a shame on the Police and an abuse of due process.
John however maintained that if the Elombah publisher has offended anyone that the person so offended should rather go to the appropriate quarters to seek redress rather than use men of the Special Anti Robbery squad of the Nigerian Police to attack and witch hunt the blogger.
He said the police allowing by themselves to be used by authorities against the media shows the level of intellectual deficiency the force has condescended to.
The media practitioner maintained further that since Daniel Elombah is yet to be informed of his offence, he should be released unconditionally and with immediate effect so he can reunite with his family.
