The Guild of Digital Journalists, Kwara State Chapter (GDJ) has Condemned in strong terms the illegal Abduction of our member, a veteran journalist, Rowland Olonishuwa in the early hours of wednesday by operatives of the Nigeria Police from the Lagos command.

According to a release jointly signed by Opeyemi Daniel Adeoti GDJ Chairman and Oyez Olatunde Rextun, Secretary General ‘Shuwa’ was picked up in the presence of a few of his associates in Ilorin in a lawless, Gestapo like manner, and taken to an unknown destination while also being kept incommunicado with the outside world.

The Guild of Digital Journalists is protesting in the strongest terms, the flagrant abuse of his fundamental rights as a journalist, the non-procedural mode of his arrest and denial of contact to the outside world.

The Guild of Digital Journalists stands in solidarity with the family of Olonishuwa, our Ethics and Quality Control Secretary, whose safety and well being we demand from the concerned authorities.


The Lagos Police command and all concerned authorities are hereby urged to work in line with the Inspector General of Police’s commitment to the rule of law, and therefore intervene to ensure that Rowland ‘Shuwa is freed and returned safely to reunite with his family.
