On September 19, a group of at least 50 unidentified men attacked Adenekan, a journalist with the privately owned Premium Times online newspaper, and Ubanga, a cameraman with the privately owned online broadcaster GeeTV Africa, while they were separately covering a gubernatorial election in Iyamho town, in Nigeria’s southern Edo state, according to both journalists, who spoke to CPJ in phone interviews and via messaging app, and a report Adenekan co-authored in the Premium Times. The attacks began after Adenekan and Ubanga filmed members of the group allegedly attempting to bribe people to vote for certain candidates, the journalists told CPJ.
