Nigerian Soldiers Confiscate and Destroy Copies of Local Newspapers
The Nigerian government targeted four major local newspapers on Friday, confiscating or destroying its copies, and storming one of the paper's offices, according to multiple reports.
The military reportedly stopped and searched distribution vans across the country, confiscating copies of four dailies: The Nation, the Daily Trust, the Leadership, and the Punch. The newspapers said these actions affected their distributions on Friday and Saturday, and accused the government of trying to stifle freedom of expression.
