According to The Vanguard, Thursday, 25th of June, 2015 was an ill-fated day for a journalist named Yomi Olomofe who is the Executive Director of the Badagry based Prime Magazine. He was reportedly beaten to a coma by suspected smugglers for exposing their crimes at the Seme-Badagry area.

 

Speaking to the Vanguard, He said:

“I was with another colleague of mine on a visit to the command, when some smugglers, who claimed that journalists have been writing negative stories about them, pounced on me.

“While beating me, they threatened to kill me so as to serve as deterrent to journalists writing stories about them.

“I was there with the correspondent of Tide Newspaper, thank God a friend from Rotary Club came to take me away, I would have been dead, because I was left there almost lifeless.

“These hoodlums are not unknown. They are known to everybody, but they are above the law. They even told me that they have killed many people and nothing happened”
 

The journalist is currently seeking police protection to deter a future attack.
