SSS Detains Paparazzi Publishers In Abuja

Report reaching this office confirms that the State Security Service, SSS, has held the duo of Moji Danisa and Ogbeni Olawale Dawodu, publishers of wave making weekly political tabloid, Paparazzi, after they showed up at the office of the security agency office in Abuja on Thursday morning for questioning.

The SSS, through one of its officials, had invited Moji Danisa and Olawale Dawodu for drilling today, which they honoured.

As earlier reported by Aproko247 on Thursday morning, no reason was given for the invitation and questioning by the SSS, it is however believed to be because of a publication titled GULAK THE GARRULOUS, in apparent reference to the Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters.

All effort to get in touch with them has proved abortive, as their phone lines have remained permanently switched off.

Paparazzi Magazine, from inception, has been in the forefront of holding politicians and political office holders accountable for their actions in and out of office. Though the magazine and its staff have been harassed on several occasions, leading to the adoption of “nomadic journalism” for months, this is the first time its publishers will be invited officially for questioning by the SSS.
