Media Condemns DSS Arrest of Two Journalists in Jos

The arrest of two journalists by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Jos has been widely condemned as an attack on press freedom. The journalists, Ruth Marcus and Keshia Jang from Jay 101.9 FM, were detained while covering the funeral of the APC National Chairman's mother. They had filmed a minor incident where security personnel initially blocked a church leader from entering the venue. In a strong statement, the radio station's management described the arrest as "illegal, undemocratic, and unacceptable." They emphasized that the journalists were simply doing their job by documenting an event of public interest. The station warned that intimidating the press is a dangerous trend that undermines democracy. They vowed not to be silenced and called on the public and international community to stand for press freedom and the rule of law. The journalists were later […]

Ghana MP Petitions Diplomats Over Wave of Arrests

The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has petitioned the diplomatic community over what he calls an alarming wave of arrests under the current government. In a strongly worded letter addressed to the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in Ghana, he argued that the country has been plunged into a climate of fear where citizens are punished for expressing dissenting views. Mr. Assafuah urged the international community to intervene and encourage the government to uphold Ghana’s democratic values. According to him, the arrests reflect a troubling culture of intimidation that undermines the rule of law and basic freedoms. “I humbly petition your high office to take urgent note of the disturbing developments currently unfolding in our country, Ghana, since the assumption of office by the NDC government on 7 January 2025,” […]

Northwest Group Rejects Amnesty Report on Insecurity

The Northwest Democracy Monitoring Group (NDMG) has strongly criticised Amnesty International’s latest report on insecurity in Nigeria, describing it as inaccurate and misleading. In a statement released on Sunday, the group’s chairman, Abubakar Sani, accused Amnesty of presenting “inflated and unsubstantiated” data that could fuel division and unrest in the country. “We categorically challenge the numbers cited in this report, deeming them grossly inflated, misleading, and ultimately inflammatory,” Sani said. He urged Amnesty to reconsider its approach to reporting on Nigeria, noting that such figures undermine efforts to strengthen democracy and stability. Amnesty International had claimed in its recent report that hundreds of people were killed or displaced in violent attacks across Nigeria in the last year. However, the NDMG insisted that its field research across several communities in the Northwest painted a different picture. “Our findings starkly contrast with […]

Wake Up Texas: Time to Defend Democracy Now

Texas stands at a critical crossroads. The Republican Party, aligned with Donald Trump, has chosen power over principles, threatening the very foundations of American democracy. From unethical redistricting to undermining the rule of law, their actions are not mere politics—they are attacks on Texan values, rights, and futures. The time for complacency is over. Texans and Americans everywhere must rise up, unite, and demand accountability before it is too late. Recent events prove one thing: many Texas politicians have abandoned their duty to serve the people. Instead, they march in lockstep with Trump’s agenda, prioritizing party loyalty over justice, power over democracy, and control over community needs. This betrayal has real consequences: silenced voices, manipulated elections, and weakened trust in democratic institutions. This is more than politics. It’s a fight for the soul of our democracy. Texans must act now—not […]

Nigeria’s Mandatory Voting Bill: A Flawed Fix for Voter Apathy? A controversial bill proposing compulsory voting for Nigerians—with penalties of ₦100,000 fines, six-month imprisonment, or both—has drawn sharp criticism from civil society group Global Rights, which labeled the move “undemocratic” and “misguided.” The bill, currently before the House of Representatives, seeks to amend the Electoral Act 2022 to enforce voter participation. Here’s why activists argue it misses the mark. Why Global Rights Says Compulsion Fails Democracy Global Rights Executive Director Abiodun Baiyewu condemned the bill at a press briefing in Abuja: “Voting is a civic duty, but enforcing it through threats undermines democracy. Participation must stem from trust, not fear.”Key arguments against the bill include: Mistrust in the System: Only 30% voter turnout in 2023 reflects public disillusionment with electoral fraud, violence, and judicial inefficacy. Structural Barriers: Systemic issues like vote-buying, thuggery, and hate speech deter […]
