The Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ on Tuesday condemned the gangster-like outburst by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode against the Cross River State Correspondent of the Daily Trust Newspaper, Eyo Charles who asked him a simple question.
The association’s President, Chris Isiguzo, in a statement released on the incident, described Fani-Kayode’s act as one targetted at denigrating journalists.
The statement partly reads, ” The Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ condemns the gangster-like outburst by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode against the Cross River State Correspondent of the Daily Trust Newspaper, Eyo Charles who asked him a simple question which he felt was embarrassing.
In his reaction, Kayode assaulted the journalist and threatened him for daring to ask such a question.
By denigrating the journalist, Fani-Kayode has exposed himself the more as an intolerant and unstable person who will not want his activities closely scrutinised by the media.
