UN Journalist Who Questioned Amina Mohammed On Sunday Igboho Banned

Inner City Press has been prohibited from covering United Nations briefings after asking questions on  President Muhammadu Buhari regime’s persecution of frontline Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho.

The media outlet was banned by Amina Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, after it quizzed her on Buhari’s attack on Sunday Igboho.

Inner City Press disclosed the development in a tweet on Wednesday.

Inner City Press it disclosed that it was served a three weeks’ ban after its reporter inquired into the human rights violation of Sunday Igboho amongst and other developing rights issues.

“In UN briefing Inner City Press is banned from, by still (3 week) vacationing  @StephDujarric , this is Deputy @UN_Spokesperson Farhan Haq – he has received its Qs by email, incl on #Nigeria / Igboho, #Qatar Al Marri, UNOPS, #Haiti #Cameroon, UN rapes,” Inner City Press tweeted.

“Inner City Press has asked: what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres and DSG @AminaJMohammed on that a court in #Benin has ordered that a #Nigeria leader being held in the country be moved to prison: Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho,” it added.

The U.S. based media also inquired into the rosewood scandal of 2017 that indicted Ms Mohammed while serving as Nigeria’s minister of environment.

In 2017, the second-highest-ranking official of the United Nations made the headlines over an illegal rosewood trade between Nigeria and China.

The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) reported how Mohammed authorised the export of endangered timber (rosewood) to China, to enrich her pocket, despite an existing ban in her last days as Nigeria’s minister for environment.

Mohammed denied all corruption allegations uncovered by the investigation, and the UN did not immediately take any disciplinary measures against her over the scandal.

The development is coming against backdrop of widespread complaints of Buhari’s regime suppression of free speech and gagging of media amid biting economic downturn and frightening inexorable rise in insecurity in Northern Nigeria.

The regime has been accused of turning a blind eye to the atrocities of bandits and insurgents in the North but unleashing terror on peaceful secessionists and self-determination demonstrators in the south.
