NUJ Commends DSS for Releasing Detained Journalists in Plateau

The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) praises the Department of State Services (DSS) for releasing two Jay FM journalists, Ruth Marcus and Keshia Jang, in Plateau State. The journalists were detained after posting a video showing a confrontation between a cleric and security operatives at a funeral.

The NUJ emphasizes the importance of press freedom and urges the DSS to allow journalists to operate without intimidation. The union calls for accountability within security agencies to prevent future violations of journalists' rights, reaffirming its commitment to promoting professionalism in journalism.
